Water temp gauge on a 2.4 carb

[90 5.0]

Where would be a good place to install the sensor on a water temp guage on a carbed 200 2.4.

Electic guage 1/8" npt sender

[90 5.0]

Decided to drill and tap port head like my 2.5 high po heads already have that in them

I was thinking same thing, but was unsure if there may a reason not to on a 2.4.

Couldn't you just put a brass T where the water pressure gauge goes and use the other side of the T for your gauge. Don't wanna see you crank in a pipe thread hole and stress out the block and crack it under heat and vibration loads. The aluminum is usually built up where ever the factory has a hole in the block.

I thought about that and I think the waters cooler there

i looked at both heads a lot first and to see if there was any noticable reason not too couldn't find any so I drilled and tapped both sides just in case I want to move it at some time or run a second gauge for any reason.

Oops, for some reason i thought you were wanting to drill the block.
