Size of Plug on the pass side cyl. head next to #8? I have heard there is a threaded hole in the cylinder head that is capped with a torx (?) bolt, I am assuming it is similar to the one in the opposite location on the driver's side where the temp gauge connects. Well I would like to hook up an accurate temp guage in the pass side hole. Does anyone know the size fitting i will need to hook up an electrical temp gauge in this spot. I will be installing headers soon so I will have access to this area and figured this would be the best time to try it.

Re: Size of Plug on the pass side cyl. head next to #8? It's M12x1.5.
You'll need to get a M12x1.5 to 1/8th adapter. I got mine from Equus at autobarn.com. It was like 5 bucks. I didn't actually end up doing it there anyway, my arms just aren't skinny to get to that spot. I ended up using the freeze plug that is directly above the starter. With putting headers in, you should have room though.

Its an 8mm Hex to remove the plug in the cylinder head.
I got the same adapter as Dope to replace the plug and use along with my Autometer sender. I gave it a quick try this weekend to install it, but like Dope I couldn't quite get to the plug very easily. I have very skinny arms though, so I when I have more time I will give it another shot. It looks like you can reach it from the top by removing the back 2 coil packs, or from underneath.
