are there any more water/coolant ports on my 302? performer rpm has one, but I need two additional temp sensors to complete the car.
1 - temp guage
2 - retrotek EFI
3 - electric fan
the motor is a Ford racing 345h.p. 302

Looks like you'll need to "Tee off" the heater hose port and the temp sensor port. I use brass fittings for this from the hardware store. There are also stainless pipe fittings for this as well from other sources. You can also install the fan switch in the thermostat housing port. It's not needed (unless you're running A/C too) till the coolant's hot anyway.
