Deleted User	the temp probe should go to either the block, or into a rad hose if you have the necessary adapter.

Deleted User	personally id rather have a temp probe that taps into the block, less chance of something coming loose or falling out and spraying coolant everywhere.

Cuz we didn't see an extra tap on the exhaust side. But plugging it into the radiator sounds accurate I think it could fit there.

I am going to replace my stock temperature sensor with an aftermarket one. there are 2 sensors right under the intake manifold. One goes to the computer (I am keeping that one) and one goes to the dash (that is the one I am replacing)
