Has anyone adapted a volvo oil temp gauge into their 740 diesel? I've found the temp sender for a gas 700 from Tasca, and could probably source the stock gauge. Of course, the drain plugs are different diameters, but maybe there would be a way to shave it down and re-thread. Anyone tried something similar? Would it be better to go aftermarket? I'm not having much luck getting good info on this.
I was originally planning to hook up an oil pressure since I obtained an 86 cluster with boost and oil pressure gauges, but it seems that oil temp would be more useful. I'm more concerned about getting into boost when the oil isn't hot then having low oil pressure, though I may simply move the boost gauge to the A pillar and have oil pressure and temp
Thanks,
Adam
