Yes, there's water at the other side.....but the question is.....why not use the one on the other side of the tstat?

thanks for the reply,,,good ? well i what to keep the stock one working to, and did not what a big piping mess on the top. auto-meter uses a nice little sending unit and most people will not notice it.
do you know of a better place? thanks again

I also wanted to keep the stock sender.

I used a short pipe nipple and a tee fitting just below the thermostat. The short nipple is required to allow the tee fitting to be tightened without contacting the manifold.

I painted it to match the engine and covered the wire in the factory type wire loom.
