Installing water temp gauge on 7AFE, help? Options

[beefstrudel]

I have a SunPro water temp gauge and the temperature sender is too big to fit in the thermostat housing, so does anyone know an alternative place to put it? And if not, is there anywhere to put it to be an oil temp gauge?

I've seen that on the internet before too, In fact when I was trying to install the other gauge I was wishing I had it. I took that other gauge back already so it'd be great if you found what brand it was

Glowshift makes the coupler things I was looking into doing it for mine, just never got them. If you do it, you should do a little write up while you go along, so people in the future can know exactly what to do

Awesome. I'll probably work on it this weekend, I'll write up some instructions and I'll take some pics too.

problem with in the hose is you create more potential leaks and if you use the hose the t-stat is on you'll never get a real read of engine temp. better to thread an electric sender into somewhere on the block or head where there is coolant.
