True

 

I think this is a good option for me. This goes in the upper radiator hose? And I would assume that that hose clamps over it? Do you recall the size of the copper nipple and brass bushing?

 

cut apart a old hose and take a sensor to hardware store cant go wrong that way,

 

Negative.....install it in the 3/4" heater hose and close to the t-stat cover. Take the sending unit and a small piece of 3/4" heater hose with u to a hardware store to measure/find the appropriate nipple, bushing and clamps. Probably get the JBWeld there too.

 

Oooops, sorry Mr. free, I was typing while u were posting.

 

Couple off butt connectors and wire ....one stop shopping...lol...

 

you can easily drill and tap the head where the sensor would be.

 

.......and that's probably the best way but being the easiest way depends ???????

 

Its pretty damn easy. Know how to use a drill? know how to run a tap? Is yes, then your in luck.

 

Yes, I do, but not everybody does......go back and read between the lines.

 

Im pretty darn sure OP is capable bro. I'd say at least 96% of this forum can use these simple tools. Hardest part is researching what the thread pitch to tap it too is, then figuring out what drill bit to use is need.

Tap: 1/8" x 27
Drill: 11/32

well, looks like thats figured out

 

I know how to use a drill but I am not real good at it. I know it sounds silly but it's a girl thing I guess

 

You can do it. If you don't feel comfortable, have someone with some experience watch over you You just got to keep it straight, and take your time. Drill slow to not burn up the bit. Cast is really easy to go threw. You obviously have some amount mechanical knowledge, have a little faith.

 

Thanks. I guess I am just nervous about screwing it up. Not much room for error if I drill block as opposed to the copper fitting type. If I mess that up I can scrap it and start over. Most of what I am doing to my Jeep is my first time doing any of this stuff

 

Bingo! U r a fast learner.....I can tell.
