And want to put the stock one in the water neck here is a tip. Most people I talked to said that it would break and it will if you dont do it right. I drilled a 1/2 hole in the water neck and tapped it and started putting the stock sender in but it was kinda hard to turn and i knew I would crack the neck if I put it in any more.

So this is what you do.
You re-thread the sender too. Voila. Now it fits and wont break.
