Which sending unit will give the most accurate reading when used with the stock oil temp gauge to use the gauge as a water temp gauge in a V8 conversion? It will need to be NP threads (hopefully 1/8"). It would be great if 190-200 F would be around mid scale on the gauge.

I would suggest you make an adapter fitting to put the oil temp sender into the manifold fitting next to the thermostat on the small block. Or drill and tap if you have a blank boss on the manifold.
Liquid is Liquid, and using the stock 914 sender insures you have the correct sender for the gauge. |
