Did you ever debug the oil temperature gauge? I'm assuming it is not working because there is no flow through the adapter, so you're not seeing the actual temperature of the oil.
The Autometer webite has this about temp gauges:
When it comes to mounting the sender for either a trans temp or oil temp gauge, we recommend you use a weld in bung, available separately for MECHANICAL gauges as model #2261, or for ELECTRIC gauges as #2260. The reasoning for this is simple; when the bung is mounted so it will be continuously submerged in fluid, it will give the most accurate readings.

There was one company out there that I saw that designed one specifically to install gauge sensors.. but it was expensive. With hind sight again, I would have bought that adapter.

Do you still have the info on the "expensive" adapter?
