gauge install

[pistonhead351]

im working on installing my mech water temp gauge, and i got a few ?'s. i have a tfs street heat intake and i was just wondering if those two allen wrench screws on the back of the lower intake is where i should install it to. its a water passage, but i dont know if this is the best place to put it. where would you guys suggest i install the probe? thanks.

I am not familiar with your intake, but I would keep the sensor as close as possible to the stock sending unit location.

Has anyone compared the temperatures at the four corners of the lower intake?

I put mine where the stock one goes.. they sell an adapter for the smaller sensored guages

Jason, my driver side rear port seems to see the same amplitude/range, but it does so with slower reaction time.

It seems to me that flow back there is reduced, so the sender has to wait for radiant heating/cooling of the coolant and that can be why it reads 'slow'.

I agree all the way about sticking with the stock location (if applicable with that intake).

I have always been curious about that.
