Chris...I have read here where folks put that sensor where the plug is on the oil filter housing.There is a plug on the side of it.

I'm pretty sure its a 1/8 NPT plug in it now, most sensors are the same.

There is a plug in there now.I think it is 1/8 NPT,check it out.I bet you can tell by looking at at.Depending on what size your probe is you may need a bushing.
