well, the hole that I shouldn't have drilled was where I was originally
going to put the sender. sleep deprivation had gotten the best of me
at the time, though, so even though I did get it on the right side of
the pan, I was perfectly lined up with one of the bolt holes :^}
oops.
so my 10¢ patch was drilling holes in the center of two nickels and
sandwiching the hole with a very small bolt and nut, with JB weld as a
sealant on both sides. seems to be holding wonderfully.
the sensor, on the other hand, seems to be weeping a bit of trans fluid
from around it's bung - I should have JB'd that, too. However, the
fact that even in the mud at Jon's, neither the sensor got knocked or
the wire pulled off says a lot. I think I found a good spot.
What it has told me so far is that it takes about 15 minutes to get up
to operating temp of around 190˚, and will occasionally crest 200˚.
When I was towing Christine, I saw it top out at around 215˚ or so.
