Can we exclude bobkyle from this thread so we dont get embarassed.

Nice rockers, I changed mine to the shelby ones that fit on the tips better and dont fall off like the OEM ones. Gets expensive though 19 bucks * 32 of them.... You do the math, I never was very good at it.

Sorry I'm not really building anything just trying to add some gauges but figured this would be a good spot to ask

What is this going into my intake manifold behind the alt I was gonna put my water temp sensor there but there's a line coming off it

The line goes to the bottom passenger side of the throttle body and connects with lines going to the pcv and the other goes between the engine and firewall somewhere

That goes into the crossover. You could put a "t" fitting in there if you wanted a temp gauge. Seen it done with brass fitting before.

Well it's a custom job, but somehow the sensor was still in place. I'll have to see if I can find the pic.
Edit: that looks fine to me though

So that's not letting coolant into the tb or into my valve cover

That hose just goes to the tee on the TB. It then goes to the PCV valve and wraps around it and comes back. Alot of trucks didn't have this. Get a 1/4 NPT Tee and put your sensor on it. 5 min job

So I need 2 tees then but I guess I'm confused as to how that doesn't dump coolant into the tb and pcv
