Hey guys,

I'm about to purchase one also. But I have a AAM oil pan spacer. It came with a pre threaded hole for the purpose. But I to would like to here where people who don't have a spacer put one. They might just tap the lower part of the upper oil pan and thread a hole in there. Not sure if that area is low enough for accurate readings.

I've used a sandwich adapter in the past to get oil temp and pressure readings (in a car without pressure gauge). Here's one you can buy from summit racing:
