Install the h2o sender in the pass. side of the block. Drop the starter (2 bolts) and there is a drain plug right behind it in the block. You'll need an 8mm allen wrench socket to remove it. Then you will need a 1/8" -27NPT to M16 x 1.5 adapter for the sender to fit the drain plug whole.

It might be a M14 to 1.5, now that I think about it. Don't remember off the top of my head.

Its 1 of the 2 though.
