Coolant Temp Sending Unit

[kbeck59]

I have Crash's Gauge Pod and my Autometer Gauge's I ordered came today.

One of them is a Water Temp gauge ... The question  is does any one know where on the engine is the best place to put the sending unit ?

Trans Temp is easy BPD1151  has pics of his setup ..

Boost .. easy as well.

I did a radiator hose adapter.
One if these.

As for size I am taking a stab at base what I used and what I was told by another person. I personally use a 38mm adapter which I had to shoe horn on. The 32mm I told was to small but this is the exact ID of the upper radiator hose. So the 34mm should be good.
The other option is build a manifold out of brass fittings so stock coolant sensor and your gauge sensor can share same location. Which believe locate in rear cylinder head on drivers side.

Thanks Chris!  This is how I plan to handle it for the gauges I'll be using (just so happens They are Prosport also.

Mike…. can the clamps used on the hotpipe connections be obtained in the size needed for the SHO radiator hose?  TIA
