    I am adding a mechanical temp gauge to my 72 350 4bbl and want to keep the idiot lights so where do you recommend putting the gauge sender?

    Thanks in advance

    I believe the 350 manifold has an extra coolant bung for a vacuum tee. Throw that thing out and use that bung. Also, I'm pretty sure that's your only option:bla:

    You can install a tee in the temp sensor position, but I agree with Cason.

    >>Adam - are you sure a tee will work in the temp sensor position to run two temp sending units? I asked about doing this because the plug on the drivers side of my 72 Buick 350 intake is really stuck and not coming out. Someone on the board said I would not get the correct temp by running a tee as the temp sending units would not be sitting in the intake then.

    That's what I am thinking, but I've never done it. I just use the second plug for the other sender.

    I wish my plug would come out :-(
    I have a lead on another 72 Buick 350 intake but I'm seeing if the plug is removed or can be removed first.

    Vise grips, heat, hammers. You should be able to get that out.

    >>Tried everything but heat yet and might have to remove the intake anyway to do that as the gas line and wiring are near the plug.
