I want to add water, oil, and volt gauges to my wagon. Volt and oil are no problem. Water temp is...I can't find a opening in which to put the temp sender under all that emissions piping. Anyone have a clue where to look: heads, block, intake? I can't use the existing sending unit locations due to emissions and engine control needs.
There aren't any plugged fittings in the intake manifold, block or heads, aside from the block drains, but those are too low down and not practical. I did the intake manifold gasket on my 307 not too long ago, so I had it all apart and saw nothing usable for that purpose. Does your radiator have a plug or two on the passenger side tank? That is the only thing I can think of.
They make adapters that you put inline with the radiator hose that have a threaded opening in the side for the temp sending unit fitting. All kinds of places sell them, see them for ten bucks on evilbay in all different hose sizes. http://prosportgauges.com/water-temp-sender-radiator-hose-adaptor.aspx HTH, Allan
