I usually install the fitting in the thermostat cover.
Off-set it to the outlet side to avoid contact with the "peak" of the thermostat, under the cover.

I installed one on my race engine using the old heater hose nipple on the head. I removed the heater hose nipple and installed the adapter to the thermocouple that leads to the mechanical gauge.

Here are a few shots - Scroll Down to Post Named 3-30-10 Engine in and Runing!

If you still use the heater on your car a pipe T could work for this..
