"Somewhere" close to the thermostat.

I ran out of ports in my intake and used a thermostat housing spacer that had 2) 3/8 ports in it.

The crossover portion of the intake prior to the T-stat is where it needs to be. Since you are not running heater hoses one of those ports on the intake would be fine.

Once again, I'm compelled to ask, "just what it is" that we are workin on here...........

If worst comes to worst, there are some aftermarket folks, or you can make them yourself, make thermostat housing extension...........

Figure out which heater fitting on the pump housing is coming out and put it there. That should be interconnected to the original electric sender mount..........Or get a smaller adapter for the mech gauge and do like this guy.

THANKS!!! stupid new software!!! See the img tag? You cannot edit it out!!
