Where do you suppose is the optimum spot for the water gauge sender? Near the pump? On the block, forward? On the block towards back?
I'm gonna hook up an aftermarket gauge on my flathead six to compare with factory gauge for an upcoming 700 mile trip. The original connects to the block towards the back. And since I want both gauges working, I obviously can't use existing port. Any thoughts on location better or worse than others?

I would say the higher up in the system (cylinder head), the better you'll be for getting the true temperature. Just my opinion though,

So try to stick as close to the outlet as possible where temps are highest before going back to radiator? Makes sense. I'll see if I can find a spot. Thanks.
