Where should I put my sensors....here or there.

I'm putting in my oil temp sensor and tranny temp sensor. As for the oil temp sensor I was considering oil pan or above the oil filter. My motor is out so above the oil filter would probably be easier but I heard the temps wont be as accurate. If I put it in the pan I'm gonna have to drill sh**.

As for the trans temp sensor....my tranny is out to so I was looking at putting it in the plugged whole on the driver's side top. But I also already ordered the AutoMeter Manifold for the temp sensor to run between the lines.

My thing is this ....is it gonna be that far from accurate that I should go throught the extra work of the trans line cutting and the oil pan drilling?

Another thing, I'm running pod gauges and wondering where to you drill the hole in the firewall????????

thanks all.

I drilled and tapped the oil drain plug to hold the oil temp sensor.
