If your intention is to tell the coolant temperature at the hottest place
in the engine, as near to the thermostat housing as possible should work.
If you want to tell coolant temperature in the cross flow radiator, then
your probe location will suffice.

I am in the process of hooking up a new engine water temperature gauge.
The manufacture, maxxtow, recommends to put the sending unit in the
radiator. I have the aluminum radiator and it has a port to accept the
sending
unit.
Our stock system has the sending unit in the intake manifold.

Is there a advantage in having the sending unit in the rad? Is the intake
manifold still the best location?
Or run the new gauge with the probe in the rad, and leave the stock gauge
as is?

Opinions? Recommendations?
Thanks, Scott
