Water temp guage?

i got a set of guages, oil, volt and water, i didnt need the water but it was a thing where u buy 2 and u get the 3 for like 1/2 price so i said why not, so my question is where do i hook up the water temp guage too? is there a spot on the block i can tap into or how does it work, i have never done a water temp guage before.

ok so these points already exist on my block, do i just "tap" into them, get a "T" style fitting and take if off of that?

I haven't looked myself but if I receal the stock temp sensor is located on the back of the head so there might be just a plug there of some sort. If there isn't you should be able to tap using an adapater since the holes will probably be a different size. If there is you'll need to construct a T connection since the PCM uses the sensor for timing, a/f mixture, and when to turn the radiator fan on and off.

An easier way also would probably be to look for an inline adapter for the radiator hose and mount the sensor in the middle of the radiator hose.

seems somewhat complicated

Sell the water temp on ebay for full price and call it a day.
