I based the location on NASIOC recommendations. Same with my oil pressure in the back of the heads... except the plug I was supposed to use wouldn't unscrew easily and I didn't want to round it, so I used the other plug which may be behind a pressure regulator so I'm not seeing the exact hi-end pressure.
I'll go in search of that thread on Nasioc.
