True, but I would think that placing the sender in the rubber line before the radiator would still be more accurate than the pan reading since the fluid does not have a chance to mix with the cooled fluid in the pan.
I am going to use a couple of 1/2" barbed 1/2" male threaded pieces
Brass Fittings - Fittings and Nipples
and joining them with a Tee that has three 1/2" female ends and then installing the autometer sender in the middle.
I will figure out which line is the tranny to cooler line and splice the tee into it. It looks like it will be going into the rubber line located under the front of the engine block just after the metal line from the tranny ends.
Of course there could be a slight drop in temp between where the factory sender located and the end of that metal line where the rubber line connects (where the autometer sender will be located) but I think it will be negligable.
I ordered the parts so I'll post my results when I'm done with the install.
