Which sensor is responsible for the water temperature gauge?
I'm thinking of getting an Auto Meter water temp gauge, electrical, and not sure which sensor in the motor is responsible for the stock gauge in the cluster.

The 12A water temp sensors are on the driver side of the engine, right underneath the beehive oil cooler. You'll see a large brass colored bulb that is threaded into the engine. That's the oil pressure sensor. Right in front of that is the water temp sensor. It will have a bullett style electrical connector on it, and I believe that a 12mm socket will fit it....
Never owned a GSL-SE, so I can't help much in that aspect. Hopefully this is some help to you...

Thanks for explaining the 12A's location, but since I don't own a 12A (and will ensure I never do; I hate carbs) it's not much help to me.
I know there are three sensors: 1 at the top of the radiator, 1 at the bottom left, 1 near the thermostat housing.

All engines have the temp sensor for the gauge next to the oil pressure sender. You will need to buy an adapter fitting to fit any of the aftermarket temp gauges snnce the threads in the block are BSPT.
Since you have an SE, your best bet may be to tap for a new fitting next to the one on the backside of the waterpump housing.

I have a website that offers BSPT to NPT adapters. So, that shouldn't be a big deal, however I wonder what the actual size is. If it's 1/8, Pegasus Racing and Re-Speed offer an adapter. Anyone know of the water temp fitting size?
So, if the temp sensor is in the same location for 12As and 13Bs, what are those 3 other sensors that I talked about before?
