I've always thought that the drain plug was a lousy place for a temp sender. When I put an oil temp gauge in my '83, I used the oil light sensor spot instead. Using steel, hydraulic fittings, I created a T at the sender spot. One branch holds the oil pressure gauge/oil light sender. The other branch holds a conventional style temp sender. I went to my local VDO dealer and got a temp sender with 1/4" pipe thread for the range of the oil temp gauge. Works great, and I don't have to unplug it to change the oil!
