TBI Engine Temp sensor and Factory Temp Sendor locations

[rang-a-stang]

I know I need to install my new Temp Sensor somewhere in a coolant passage and the first logical choice would be where my Temp Sender is for my Temp gauge but I don't want to loose my sketchy temp gauge.

Where do you guys stick the TBI Temp Sensor?

[rang-a-stang]

is there a combo sensor/sender I could get that would serve both functions?

stock temp sensor location is not correct thread for tbi sensor

Anywhere a CTO is located would work for TBI sensor.
There are also drain plugs in block, one per side, that could be used.

Ah. Yeah that makes sense. Thank you!

I did the same when I installed my TBI. I relocated the yellow CTO to the thermostat housing to control my purge and EGR. I eliminated the dual CTO in the rear all-together. You could also install the yellow CTO where the dual CTO used to be.

Oops. Just saw how old this thread is.

No worries because my install hasn't started yet. My fan switch will go into the T-Stat housing.

Facepalm.
I saw this and just realized I have my ECM coolant sensor in the thermostat housing. It really should be in the intake to better monitor temps while warming up - once the thermostat is open it should be all the same.
A fan switch can go in the tstat housing no problem since it should be a higher temp than stat opening anyway.
Temp sender for a gauge, same as an ecm, you want it in flowing coolant either block, head or intake.

Glad i could help!
