Im switching from the torker to a RPM air gap manifold THANK GOD!!!!!!

I have an aftermarket temp gauge and on the torker intake it had two holes, one for a gauge senser..the other for the bypass hose. Well the air gap has one

SO will i be allright to just use the thermostat housing senser hole (that is used for the factory temp senser?? will the "probe" evan fit there?

Just install a "T" fitting in that hole and run both. I do this all the time, using a brass "T" from a local hardware store, looks good and easy to clean. Use what ever brass ( or even stainless if you can find them) to make it work.

In which hole? I for some reason cant see how a T would work whent that prong thing has to go into the intake????

Elaberate a little more if you can. Like a barbbed brass tee? ( i work in a hardware store and could get stuff for free )

Install the T into the hole that's in the coolant passage in the front of the intake like so -I and get a straight nipple for the heater hose fitting instead of the L shaped one. Install this into the horizontal port of the -I and the temp sensor into the top port. Straight hose nipples are available from most parts houses and a few hardware stores carry some too, I've seen them at Lowes.
