    Ok i have 75 maverick with a 250 i6, i decided i wanted a temperature gage so i went and bought a little mechanical one to mount under my dash. Would anyone happen to know where i plug in the sensor?, the instructions say to put it place of warning light sensor, i have found 2 places that i think are it, one towards the rear on the engine block and one a little above it on the head. anyone ever install a temp gage on one of these?

    It goes in the back of the head. The one on the block is the oil pressure sensor.

    Water Temp Gauge?? The stock sensor is in the front of the intake manifold ... right on top .... that's where I put my aftermarket sensor. I'm actually using aftermarket gauges for both oil pressure and temp and since they are electric I am using aftermarket senders. I didn't connect my idiot light sensors back up and to my surprise the idiots light to not indicate any problems ... I figured they would light up if disconnected.
