For Don Gordon,



I used the same dual gauge you are and it performs nicely. The connection

you are looking for should be a 90 or 45 degree -4 fitting slightly down

and to the right form the temp sensor location when viewed from the rear of

the engine. Its probably only 3 or 4 inches away from the temp probe. It is

not part of the oil filter adapter assy but screwed into the accessory

housing itself.  I would think that all models of 320 / 360 would have this

fitting or at least have the hole plugged.  You should not use the oil

cooler line for pressure measuring though because its only in use when the

temp rises above 180 degrees F.



Good luck !



Lloyd
