well since my current wat temp is non working, and my oil press gauge(exactly like the probe) is just a high/low/empty switch, i've decided to wire up my own, i originally bought these with the intention of putting them in the focus, but the truck needs them so... here's the halfway point. mounted them in the dash where the "auto4x4" and power mirror switch/controls would normally be.

You can replace the pressure switch used for the oil pressure with an actual sensor that will tell you the oil pressure, its like 30$ for it, I don't have the part number, I am guessing you have a windsor block?? I may be able to find the part number if your interested, was going to get one for my old tbird...

The 300 is a nice tq monster. The sender may work on the 300, I am not sure, i just know it worked on the windosr block, but, who knows with ford engeneers.

k, where the tap is, there is a Ton of room to work with, so even a big sensor will fit fine, if you can find the part # hook me up!
