I'm installing a water temp gauge in the freeze plug above the starter. I bought the Equus adapter kit from AutoBarn and I'm wondering which adapter fits that location? Did i not need to order the kit since I'm not installing it in the head? Also, how much fluid would I lose doing the freeze plug? dependent on if the car is level or on some ramps. Thanks for the help guys

When I did mine I put it in the back of the passenger side head w/ the equus adapter. I'm sure you still need the adapter kit since its metric, but maybe just a different size than the one in the head. I just unbolted the plug, and kept my finger in it while i tried different sizes til one fit, so I dont know the exact size, but i only lost about 1/2 a cup of fluid. hope this helps

did anyone wrap the end of the sender so nothing could get to teh electrical connection? Also, should i put teflon tape on the sender threads AND on the adapter threads thats going into the block? or just on the adapter? Thanks

Tape won't do much good on the electrical connection. I put on a thick coat of vaseline once everything is wired up.

BTW- the bushing is M16x1.5 x 1/8" NPT (inner)
