Default Re: Water inlet for temp gauge

I have a lower water outlet that has a hole drilled in it and it had some kind of electrical temp gage in it. This was on the engine I just purchased to put in my coupe. I don't think I will use it because the hole drilled in it was about a 3/4 in hole and it was threaded. My concern is that it will leak water plus the fact I was not sure what type of gage to hook to the unit that was in the outlet. So if anyone wants this thing, send me a PM and I can send a picture of it.

BTW I have a Motometer on my huckster. We were over in Boise this week and drove about 50 miles in 93 degree weather and it did show some temp rise. So it would seem like if you only want to know if you engine is getting a bit hot, this thing should give you a pretty good idea. After all old Henry said something like " You don't need all those things, you know when it is hot, it boils over"
