So it's telling you the ambient temp under the hood?

I knew someone would come up with another place to stick a gauge...lol!

it's screwed onto the thermostat housing so I'm sure it's measuring coolant temp...although not sure how accurate it will be. Interested in seeing temp comparisons.

Thanks, it reads coolant temp, the cap on its own does not fit so i pulled it apart and got a spare cap and cut the tabs off, then purchased a rotor shaped brake fluid cap from 13b1 and lathed the thread down and a hole in the top and put all three together.
I have four exhaust pipes with a clock in each one, to read four different time zones so you can keep your one clock for yourself

Don't have any good pictures, but did something similar.
A vendor kept sending me the wrong size cap for my brake master. I gave up after the second one, but didn't have anything to do with the two wrong caps and the vendor didn't want them back. So I just dremeled one out and press-fit one onto the PS pump cap..with a little glue. More dremeling and a stainless machine screw to secure the dip-stick and I had one for the coolant overflow too.



I don't usually monitor coolant temps from under the hood though.
