Put the sensor in the test port on the driver side.Its a small plug right by all the wiring stuff.Cant miss it.Its right above and to front of a pan bolt.

Soak that bolt with brake fluid or any type of release fluid and let it sit a hour, it's REALLY in there!

If you must have it in the pan, go to tsscoolers.com, I just seen a fitting that will replace the plug with an 1/8MPT center in it for the sensors. From what i have read here, there is no real difference in the temp from the pan to the pressure port on the driver side (just above the pan 2 nd bolt back), it's up to you, but the pressure test port is up out of harms way...
