Default water temperature gauge install

I searched all over and was wondering if i could tap into the factory water temperature sender wires and hook up my autometer electric water temperature gauge to those wires so i dont have to put another sender in the other head?

Just put a sender into the passenger's side head and run to a guage. It's where all the swap guys get their data and it's so easy.

easiest way, and the path i choose to go, is just getting an aeroforce interceptor scan guage. not only does it display coolant temp(accuratly) but many many other things and install is as easy as it gets...

I tapped into the top of my factory water pump, installed a sender, works nicely.

I second the aeroforce guage though.. I need one of those!
