I'd actually have room for the tee and both senders at the stock location on the head, but I don't trust all that weight hanging off a brass nipple. A friend of mine had one snap off once in a similar installation. Haven't decided where I'll mount the senders yet. Either on the firewall or on a bracket connected to some of the valve cover nuts, probably. Firewall would be easier and "cleaner" but would expose the hose to more stress from vibration. _ _ __ _ _ _| | | | David M.
