Oil Temp Sender

Is there a location on the engine block (289 in my case) where an oil temperature sender can be fitted, or does it need to go in the oil pan?

Steve,

To get a true reading, you will need to place the sender in the oil itself, i.e.,
oil pan. The only other decent option is to remote mount your oil filter, and tie the sender into the filter plumbing.

I was afraid that might be the case...
