HELP: I have asked about this before without any suggestions so we will try it again. I want to install a coolant temperature guage but I don,t now where to put the sender. I am afraid to place the sender in a tee with the OEM sender because the service manuals say that this sensor also controls the fuel temperatures and I don,t want to mess those readings.
If some of you don't think this will effect those readings I will tee it off of the OEM sensor. I was just hoping that maybe someone has installed a secondary temp. guage. I feel they are more accurate than the OEM guage. Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

tee off will not give good reading, coolant must flow over bulb to get reading. years ago saw 20 degree dif on car, sorted out friends new hotrod
