300 oil pressure port
There are two 1/4" NPT tapped holes in the 300 block towards the rear, one on the left side and the other on the right side.
Believe one is for oil pressure and the other of oil temperature or coolant temperature? Original sensors were electric wire.
Replacing with mechanical output sensors.
Looking for the block location for the oil pressure , coolant and oil temperature.
Maybe the coolant temperature is measured at the themostat housing on the cylinder head?

On the driver's side there are two tapped holes that both go into the lifter galley. You can use the rear, the oem location, for oil psi, the other for oil temp. The tapped hole on the passenger side, toward the rear, is coolant. I use it for running temp. If you use the thermo housing for a temp sending location, your reading will run about 20* hotter than reading you would receive from the passenger rear block location.
