Were has everyone been adding the temp sensor for an aftermarket temp gauge and keep the factory one?

The how-to section is for showing how to.

Most tee into the heater line for the best results. You need the one that traces back to the head.

Patience, of course, is a very powerful weapon, but sometimes I start to regret that it is not a firearm.
Too much time spent here is a sign of a bad case of Ownaneonvirus.

Sorry about that. Do you happen to have a pic of which line and what you would use to attach the sensor?
Thanks

Where they come around the end of the head, between the battery, it is the bottom line.

Or if you want to risk screwing up your head...

That was a bit tricky. Not for the faint of heart.

Edit: Heater lines.

Note how the one from the head goes to the bottom side.
