Adding additional sender for external oil temp

Since I will be towing the Jeep at high elevations 5-14K ft I wanted the critical A pillar gauges: EGT, EOT, Trans. Dash will get coolant temp, fuel pressure and boost.

I initially was thinking about adding a T to the OEM port on the back of the HPOP reservoir but that would be a huge pipe contraption. New plan is to add the T down at the oil cooler pressure port where I will tie in the oil bypass filter.

Trans temp I will use the port on the side of the transmission.

Coolant temp will be sensor will be plumbed into a port on the coolant filter.

Fuel pressure sender added to the CNC Fab 4 way T at the fuel bowl.

EGT mounted to underside of drivers side manifold.

Boost has a sensor in the intake.

Yes I know EOT is avail via OBDii but I wanted it up on the A pillar. I am waiting for Banks to release the iDash 1.8 Data Monster for the 7.3 in 90 days or so. It can display like 8 gauges at once which I will use for secondary monitoring.

Thoughts, concerns recommendations?

I put the sending unit for the 1973 in the oil cooler header just above the filter. There is an 1/8NPT plug there.
