Fully agree. And think everybody does. But why did the factory go to the expense of having a boss in the tank when there was room for the sender in the block? Does anybody know? It was an extra cost to Signor DeTomaso, so it must have been done for a reason, right?

To be honest, I think this item is something we all talk about but makes very little difference, if at all.

We are measuring water temperature, not block temperature. I doubt the water has cooled much from the trip from the block to the swirl tank. I hear it is more accurate in the block but what does that mean? One degree better???

I had a water temp gauge in the block and one in the coolant tube right before it went into the radiator for cooling. The two gauges were ALWAYS within 5 degrees of each other...
