Where can I get a TEE that will allow me to hook up an electric FP guage and still keep my under the hood guage?
I think it will need to have a male 1/16 npt and two female 1/8 npt.

Also, has anyone tried to run a TEE for the water temperature? Ive read that gauges dont read right with a TEE running 2 senders (one for stock gauge cluster and one for aftermarket gauge) Any experience?

the temp gauge has to have the sensor in the flow of the coolant. thats why a manifold wont work for temp gauges

I don't know where to get any 1/16 NPT fittings, so I'd get the Autometer adapter #3280 (1/16 NPT male to 1/8 NPT female). Then go and get a 1/8 tee with 1 male and 2 female, if available. Or a short 1/8 nipple, with a normal 1/8 tee.

Ford racing makes a water neck that has a port for a temp gauge, and it puts the sensor into the water flow. I've never used it but others have...
