I have read where if You put a sender in the sump plate it should be to one side so it doesn't interfere with the strainer and pick up pipe inside the engine...
I have a plate with a sender instead of a bolt...
I also have a small bolt on sump where the sender will be protected... its just the sump I have to worry about..!!
Is the type 3 dip stick plate [on ALL 1500 engines] low enough so that the sender is in oil all the time??
