<P><BR>No, no. The lower half is where you need to drill and tap, right between the sensors. You'll get as accurate a reading as the stock gauge. The pictures I'll try to get, the van is at the shop. And my camera is extremely low tech, so I'll see what I can get you guys.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Hector</P></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>I didn't get many responses to my post about where to
<DIV></DIV>put the coolant temp gauge sender. One idea is to tap
<DIV></DIV>&amp; drill a hole in the upper half of the Thermostadt
<DIV></DIV>Housing...I'm waiting for a picture and will pass
<DIV></DIV>along the info to ya. Any other ideas out there???

<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt; Also, are there other places to place an oil temp
<DIV></DIV>&gt; sensor if you do not
<DIV></DIV>&gt; want to use the oil drain plug?
