I've got a water temp gauge to install and I'm trying to find a spot to thread the probe into. I was thinking the coolant reservoir tank, but it's plastic. Any ideas?

maybe put a T or I should i say ? in the heater core hose. the heater core is always circulating and measure on the in hose.

Um, more info please?

Electric or mechanical gauge? What thread size is the sending unit? Both of those factors matter.

Mechanical. Not sure about the threads, but the piece that gets threaded in is at least 20mm dia. It's an Autometer, if that helps. The probe is pretty long though, way longer than the stock water temp sensor.

For it to be effective/accurate it needs to be mounted near the stock temp sender location. Anywhere else would just make it a just a pretty gauge to look at...

Take your intake off, remove the coolant crossover, and drill/tap a hole for it in the crossover.
