Alright here is my issue, the hose that I highlighted in green is leaking coolant. I currently have a bolt inserted and twisted into the end of the hose with a clamp around it and its still leaking. I want to seal it permanently if I can and get rid of a hose all together. Ideas?

So I take it the nipple that is in there isn't threaded in?

a pair if vice grips will pull it right out, then 1/8npt tap and it's done. I put my gauge temp sender there. Where did you put yours?

what adapter fitting did you use for that?

None, the b series....or d series (I can't remember) temp sender is threaded 1/8npt. The hole, once you pull the nipple out is perfect for tapping to 1/8npt.

so you pulled the fitting out, tapped the hole with a 1/8npt tap and put the sensor directly in, right?

I put my temp sender in my hasport IMG w/ water port adapter.

put out the fitting and plug it with a an plug.

You want the temp sender to be closer to the head as that is the temp you want to be monitoring, not the lower radiator hose.
