The switch for the dash gauge I’m installing just barely won’t fit with the alternator bracket installed, so I moved the main switch up a spot and moved the dash gauge’s switch to it’s spot. No issue, right?





They barely fit, but fit nonetheless

 

Is that where the oil cooler lines would go. ? If it is you might get the oil light. I just went through this with my 2004. When the weather got cold I was reading 0 psi at idle there is a valve or something in there that closes when it’s cold
so not a good spot for anything but a oil cooler

 

It's usually a silver plug in that hole, but I could have sworn the threads were different vs the oil pressure switch threads. Might be thinking of an earlier front cover though. I don't see any reason it wouldn't work as long as the thread is the same.

 

No, oil cooler lines are down below.

 

No, you're right, the threads are different but that brass bit is an adapter.

 

I always wanted to do that (I have the adapter already), in order to get rid of the sandwich adapter. How much effort is it to remove the alternator bracket?

 

Very little. Just remove the fan and shroud, belt, the idler pulley, the alternator, and then the bracket is just a few bolts. About an hour.
