One more question about this Electric Water Pump Business.......................
I've ran into a problem, where to mount my two coolant sensors.
I was thinking, either mount them in the blue t fitting or at the top of the radiator.
If you have any suggestions, please let me know. I thought about mounting them in the radiator, but I wasn't sure how well that would work out.
See the Blue T-Fitting. I would tap on the top and bottom of that and mount the sensors.
Or, have bungs welded to the top of the rad and mount them there.

I don't think I can mount those sensors in the AN Fittings, plus I'm sure I'd end up ruining them. Stupid high dollar fittings
I've been emailing back and forth with Carlos Iglesias, he mounted his sensors at the hot point in his radiator and has reported good results.

What size are the fittings coming directly out of the motor? -12AN?
http://www.anplumbing.com/shop/index...auge!_Adapters
The gauge adapters on the above page are only up to -8AN, but maybe somewhere makes something like these, only bigger...
Just a thought.

Then, on the old coolant housing. There was the GM Sensor, and another little sensor which I would imagine is the Fan Switch ?

I plan on welding some scrap bar with decent thickness inbetween 2 weld-on fittings and putting it inline of the coolant outlet from the engine.
Pretty much what is in that pic above, just without the filler neck, and with a nice flat area to tap the sensors into.

Lookin great, what's the flow rate of your waterpump and would you recommend going electric w.p. for street use/daily driving? I'm toying with the idea of getting the Meziere 55gph pump and their radiator with the mounting holes already included. What alternator bracket are you using? Xtreme Rotaries?

Lol , thats why I kept the pump / thermostat housing , it gets a lot more complicated when you opt to loose the assembly and run that little plate adapter thing.

Filled everything up with coolant, but I got a problem. I can’t burp this sucker for nothing.
The radiator sits under the front bumper at a slant, so I can’t fill it from the normal location. I’m using a fill tank that’s plummed into the top of the radiator. The vent also runs into the nipple on that fill tank.
How can I burp this sucker ?
Also, both coolant nipples on the block are capped.

I use a vacume bleeding system from snap on I'm sure you can find a cheap one at the auto parts store it suckes out all the air and uses a vacume to pull the coolant all the way in iv used it so many time and never had air left in the system it has definatly paid it self off takes less then five minutes to bleed the whole system and you dont have a mess or the car even hot

as long is its in one place that is consistent, you can just tune to compensate.

just make sure the sensor is on the engine (hot?) side of the thermostat and it will be fine. i just made up this whole hot/cold side business, but its the only way i can think to describe it.

It's at the top of the radiator, the top of the radiator is where coolant flows from the motor to the radiator. So, the sensor is located roughly .5 inch from the -16 bung.
