I suppose it saves drilling etc and who needs an oil warning light when you've got a super duper gauge

If it is an
oil TEMPURATURE gauge you have aquired you shouldn't disconnect any existing PRESSURE sender units, whether for a gauge or a warning light as you will loose all "no pressure" warnings.
By inserting the TEMP sender in place of the PRESSURE sender you will only read the temp of the surrounding metal you've inserted it into, as the oil gallery is a dead end and oil does not flow past in any great quantities.
To read TEMP it will need to be placed in the sump below half way. As Craig suggested adapting the sender into the sump plug hole would be a good and easy solution.
