fan to temp sending unit

[infamous209]

does anyone know which temp sending unit kicks the fan on and off for sure? and can i delete the other one without sending up a cel im hooking up a auto meter electric temp gauge and really dont want to run the tee method? and will the tee method interfere with the temp as no water passes through it

Use one of the ports in the rear of the intake. Done

The one that the fan works off of is the one above the thermostat, w/ the bigger connector. The one on the drivers side is the one that the gauge reads. but yea there are two plugs you can remove from the rear of the intake, thats what I used for my AutoMeter

Exactly and it works great.

They are in the lower intake exactly in the same spot as the front one on the drivers side.

call me a retard but im not seeing this extra port does it matter that mine is a cali smog motor?

Is this a factory intake?

Not sure if a factory intake has the extra ports...I'll have to check tomorrow.

ya factory intake

My fault, I dont think they have the ports in the back, should have been the first question. You wont mess up anything but cause your cluster gauge to not work by removing the drivers side sensor. I think it will peg it cold. You could try the tee method, but it will look crappy...

Also. 2.3L Foxbodies have a ECT inline adapter that goes into the heater hoses the can be used. I just thought about that.
