Her69fastback 3 Report post Posted March 4, 2022 I’m putting a Holley sniper on the 302. The edelbrock intake only have 2 coolant port. One is for the heater hose & one for the sensor for the sniper. I’m going to use auto meter temp gauge. Where is everyone putting that sensor? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't know why you want to put autometer temp gauge as Sniper shows coolant temp on display if you want. Sniper provided temp sensors often does not read correct, I had to replace it. I installed the Sniper temp sensor on intake, and installed the original temp sensor which goes to original temp gauge on thermostat housing using a housing that has a port for sensor. As far as I remember, the housing I used is Duralast brand. Both Sniper and original gauge show the coolant temp. If you have to have autometer temp gauge, installing it on the thermostat housing is the easiest. A sensor is installed on housing will read a little low when thermostat is closed though.

Vicfreg 771 Report post Posted March 20, 2022 I needed 3 temp sensors, one for my VHX dash, one for my EFI, and one for my PWM fan controller. I used a late model 5.0 thermostat housing, which has a spot for the sensor. Come come without the hole, and can be drilled and tapped for your sensor. It does make the radiator hose routing interesting... I am running a 351W based 393 stroker. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It worked out perfect with my oversized radiator. 1 RPM reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
