Has anyone moved temp. sending unit.
When I installed my Brodix heads I lost my spot to put the water temp sending unit in. I installed it into the 1/2 opening in the Performer intake. Problem is that cause its so close to thermostat that my gauge is constantly changing and never seems to settle in a t a good 200 deg or cooler. Anybody got any solutions or have had the same situation. Thanks

I switched the input location on my '78 from the LH head to the right side of the intake manifold. I would have used the left side of the intake, but there was not adequate clearance from the outlet hose. It was easy to add in a wire extender from the left side wire to the new right side location.

No nothing that will work cause I'm going from a large pipe to a smaller hole and the sender will not fit. I'm going to drill the 3/8 side out to 1/2 and tap it. Thanks for the help
