Default SPAL fan sensor question

Anyone mounted their spal fan sensor in the intake? The book says that the DS head is the location and any other location will give a false reading. I am going to use a 82 sensor in the head of the new ZZ4, and wanted to mount the spal in the intake.

Thanks

Frank

Jeez, I just put mine in the intake too. I haven't started the motor yet to see how it works. I'm interested in any experiences here too...

Oh this has been covered about 50 times.

Just put it in the intake and call it livable.

I mounted mine in the intake because it was easier. It works great , right on the mark with my gauge reading and its sensor is the original one in my 81.
