I just bought a VDO oil temp gauge , sending unit and a adapter to put it in with
the oil pres. sending unit. Two functions in one spot the only bad part is the two won't fit due to the engine tin having too small of a hole . So my big ? is is there another spot on the engine to install the temp. sender or do I have to cut some of the tin? And coming from a water cooled background what temp. should a 72' 1.7 w/carbs run ?????
Thanks,

oil temp belongs on the taco plate.....
if you put it up there you will get a false reading (says aircooled.net)

Small round plate at the corner of the case at the bottom of the engine. Dosen't
take much to strip those bolts that hold it in place, careful when reinstalling.

Your '72 will not have one unless a PO put one there. Yours will be a solid plate.

Your right I have a solid plate with two bolts holding it in place. Should there be a place to thread the sender in or do you remove the plate and there will be a place to thread the sender in under that.

you need one that has a nut welded onto it, and has a different shape to run an oil temp sender.....
