    Head Bolts for Aluminum Heads

    I've got a 360 and installing Edelbrock heads. The Edelbrock instructions say to use their head bolts, or use washers with any other bolts.

    Anyone running a mechanical temp gauge?

    I have an AutoMeter mechanical temp gauge. The sender is so long, it wont fit in the intake coolant port. Aside from running an electric gauge, what is everyone else doing?
