I will look for pics if I have any, I drilled and tapped the head at the thermostat area to install the probe.

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.

Doc did you just drill and tap the thermostat housing or did you have to brazen it I like the idea it seems simple enuff

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..
