While on the subject, where are some better options to locate a mechanical sender ??
One reason for having the gauge in the first place is to alert one to a loss of coolant; but when the coolant level drops the least little bit, a sender in that location is left high and dry and just drops to ZERO, regardless of engine temp.
I would like to plumb mine into somewhere that is more apt to stay submerged.

I also would like more info. I am going to be installing a isspro water temp but would also like the factory gauge to work. I just spent 70 bucks on a new sender for the factory gauge last summer. I , for the life of me can not remember where my old 89's used to be hooked up. It was twords the front of the engine somewhere. Just cant picture it.
