The easiest and I think also the best place is in the remote oil filter pad. This point measures the hot oil coming out of the pan. It will tell you the maximum temp of your oil before the cooler. There should be two plugs on the opposite side of the hoses going the the pad. Remove the plug opposite the line that sends oil to the pad. It is the hose that comes from the outside of the the adapter on the block. The other hose goes from the pad to the oil cooler. Good luck.

Where's the pic? I just got my gauge too. Does it look just like the water temp sender?
