?? did you have to bore the hole bigger for the new temp sensor ???

cuz I was looking at this mechanical autometer gauge and the sensor was huge..


are there any particular brands that fit with little/ or no drilling,.. mechanical or electronic

 

Do you mean putting the new sensor in the origional location? That I don't know, but the install is really easy if you install a T in the coolant line for the throttle body. Seems to be equal accuracy.

 

Cyberdyne Digital with a T in the throttle body coolant line. It's a bit laggy in that location....

Just my opinion, if you put the sensor any place not in the block, if the water pump fails pumping, or you suffer a partial loss of coolant, that sender location might not be very indicative of true engine temp. Just something to think about.

 

I use the Defi D-Gauge pictured here

Works very well.
