FE locations for oil pressure, oil temp and water temp
Good Morning:
I would be very thankful if someone could identify for me the locations and part numbers for sensors on a carburated 428FE engine for: 1.) Oil Temperature 2.) Oil Pressure 3.) Water Temperature I have the autometer "smiths" gauges. I thank you in advance for entertaining my quesitons. Regards, Khan |
Water temp, right behind the thermostat on the intake manifold.
Oil pressure, On the remote filter adapter mounted to the block. There is also a small plug on the front of the block, around the corner from the filter adapter, that I THINK can be used. Oil Temp, Oil pan |
Thank you, Burgs. Do you happen to have any part numbers or do these come with the gauges?

This Burgs guy has his priorities right - short answers, big chests. Sorry Khan, I didn't mean to hijack your thread.

Thanks to Susan at Southern Automotive who was dilligently trolling the FE forum. She saw my questions, called me up and got all of my questions answered.
answers were -Sending Units should be with gauges -Oil Pressure: Small fitting on top of oil block off plate on side of block -Oil Temperature: On driver side of oil pan on top of “T” -Water Temperature:Opening behind surge tank on the manifold (or you can use the one behind distributor if not running a heater) |
Susan has got it going on there, taking the extra step! I applaud your efforts!!!
Kahn, you'll most likely need the tubing and fittings for the oil pressure gauge. Kits are available locally, and offered in copper, nylon, and braided ss. I went with the braided. I couldn't see using nylon with the heat, and the copper was said to be prone to cracking. Brian, :D |

Brian, do you have a partnumber for kit you used? |

I have no part number. I know Auto meter has a kit, but I think I found mine at the local Auto Zone, where the gauges are. Brad |
Sorry, Brad. Thank You
