Adding Second Temp Gauge
I want to add a Autometer Electrical temp gauge but want to retain my stock gauge and sender. Is there an extra port I could use to plug a second sender into? Or would a tee work?
Thank you!

What would be the point of having 2? What will you do if they disagree? The stock gauge works fine when maintained - all it needs is the terminals cleaned every other decade or so, and maybe a replacement sender. Read this page:

No, temperature doesn't work in a T - there must be steady flow past the sensing element. And there's no point having tiny numbers all over the gauge face - you don't need to know if it's 213°F or 219; all you need to know is if it's NORMAL, which is what the stock gauge shows.
