Tempature gague placement?
I have a 1975 X-Flow in my 1962 Ranchero. I am very familiar with a 144-170-200 US 6 cyl. Is the tempature sending unit at the back of the head. the same as X-flow? I was thinking about installing an aftermarket tematue gague in the front of the engine by the thermostat housing where the vacume ports are. Good or Bad idea??? THANKS!!!

Re: Tempature gague placement?
Is this after the thermostat hosing? Can you post a picture of the exact location your considering? Generally in my opinion the rear of the head is the best location for a temp gauge sender. Good luck :

Re: Tempature gague placement?
If it's in the heads cooling passage than it could work ok. Still the rear head location for the temp sender would read at a little hotter tempature than if the sender being at the front of the head this is due to the water pump / t stat housing location and operation. Good luck
