Default trans temp install

got my gauges in. hooked up the boost and pyro no prblem. but the trans temp has me stuck. i backtracked through the forums and all i could find was run it on the hot line to the cooler. supposedly theres a T fitting in there somewhere but not on mine. theres one port with a sensor in it and the line goes from the tranny up to the right side of the block. i really dont want to tap the pan so any info would be great.

you stick in in a test port on the right side, but i know most people say in the pan or hot side cooler line, mine was in the govenor test port for years and worked out pretty good for me but i have mved it to the pan

I have mine in the test port as well. Workin' out great so far. (Avg temps are 125-150 depending on load, however these might be a little different for each different location-i.e. the pan or hot pressure line)

Quick note: Don't forget to buy some engine/trans/temp rated thread sealant (usually liquid form, but I think there's "rated" teflon tape).. Don't use regular teflon tape!
If you do, just be careful where you put it on the threads. Make sure it doesn't extend into the case, because even a little piece of tape can clog something up and screw you in the buttox.

looking at the tail shaft from straight behind, it's the small (1/8"npt) plug just to the right of the case. (it points aft, it's not on the side of the case.)
