Those of you who have fitted gauges, where did you place the temp sending unit for elect gauge?

And what is your temp on a warm day when cruising at 60 on a level road and when pulling a long hill.

Thanks

I need this info too, but from what I see there is only the one spot that would give an accurate reading, where the light ind sensor is.
Disconnecting it won't leave you wanting, kind of useless when a lite on almost means to late!!!!

Yes I did, I will just replace the original sender and use that location as it will now serve no purpose.

Posted on an interesting diff in temps depending on location. I like having a light and gauge with my location but the temp difference is disconcerting.

Great I info on this and a bunch of other useful info. on. MADElectrical.com Go to Work shop Tips and them gauge accuracy.

Lots of other good info- gen to alternator conversions, small re-wiring project to bring full 12v to your headlights, and lots of other good stuff.

Turns out big diff in temps between two locations was actually difference in the two Stewart Warner sensors I had, one being faulty by 15 to 30 degrees depending on temp. Once I determined which sensor was correct and tested locations with that one sensor the large delta disappeared.
