temp sensor in rad hose: upper or lower? 200



Upper would be better.... because that would be the closer to engine temp of the two, but the upper hose isn't necessarily loaded with coolant, so you might get some funky info, and likely no useful info until the engine is fully warmed up.

Really the best measure for coolant temp, is to simply yank out the compensation board in the cluster, which will then liberate the stock gauge so it can give proper, real readings.

Good luck!
