Morning all,
Randall the probe is located inside the top of the Radiator.  The kit
specifies placing it inside the top Radiator hose extended into the rad.

Just to help me understand - why is it better to put the probe in the return
from the rad to the water pump?

Thanks, as always, for the help!

Wayne
