This is another thing I've been toying with & not sure which spot would give better readings (even though it's a factory gauge.) The old 305 had it in the head, the original 229 obviously had it there too. Then when I had my '72 put to gether my '68 307 had the mechanical gauge probe in the intake with the warning light switch in the head. I know the pre '68 SBC's had them in the intake but was there a reason to go to the head? The only other thing I have thought about with this is if I figure a clean factory looking way to add a temp warning light to the dash the switch would go in the head. Any input?
