Mine is hooked to the lower rad tank and does not seem like the right place to me. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2006 Posts: 1,703 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2006 Posts: 1,703 | I would think upper in the cooling system be the place ..heat rises ??? | | | | | Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 324 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 324 | You can go up to NAPA and get a thermostat housing with a fitting for the sensor pretty cheap. That is what I did with my 235.

for that matter you can drill and tap a hole for a sensor in your thermostat housing

Thanks for the advise. I will be changing the set up to the thermostat housing | | | | | Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 3,458 Extreme Gabster | | Extreme Gabster Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 3,458 | If you move it to the thermostat housing, make sure it goes on the radiator side of the stat, not the head side.
