[Roadsters] Coolant Temp. gauge question

   Steve,
   Look  under  where  that fitting on the head -s and I believe you will
   find the location of the original sender. That's where mine is.
   Peace,
   Pat

     Group,
     My 1970 1600 has never had a functioning temp gauge. I purchased an
     aftermarket  gauge  that  came with several different brass fitting
     that hold
     the copper sensor to the head. I've seen other 1600's that have the
     temp
     sensor  installed  at  the front (left side) of the head. On my car
     there is a
     fitting  installed into the head which is attached to a rubber hose
     which is
     attached to a 90 degree tube that goes to a fitting at the front of
     the
     intake manifold. Do I need this current setup? Is it factory? Can I
     put a
     "T"  fitting  off  of the head so I can install the temp sensor and
     re-attach
     the  hose  and tubing that run to the intake manifold? Or, is there
     another
     location  on the head were the sensor could be installed? Sorry for
     so many
     questions.
     Thanks
     Steve Harvey
