Which source for oil PSI & Temp sender?

[joshhignight@techography.net (joshhignight@techography.net)]

Hold on a second there. Closed system yes, but only the "sending"=
 side is pressurized. Some of those oil passages are return=
 lines. Won't get much of a reading from those. 

The one on the back, driver's side of the head is a return line.=
 Currently, I have mine on the oil filter flange, but I am going=
 to move it to the head soon. 

It's more a personal preference thing. I liek the head mounting=
 better beacuse it provides you information of whether your head=
 is getting lubricated or not. If the head isn't getting lubed,=
 you have big problems (there's a lot of moving parts up there).=
 Also, if the head IS getting lubed, then of course the bottom=
 end is too.

The sensor is an electric oil pressure sender. Since oil pressure=
 is a 
closed loop system, either place will do.
