Reply to "Too cool?"

Since your car isn't going anywhere anyway, it may be worth your time to find the sendor.

The stock location is on the swirl tank. This is not such a great idea. If you spring a leak or split a hose, you will be measuring air temperature, will will most likely be a whole lot cooler than your poor, suffering, overheating engine. You don't care what the temperature is in the swirl tank - you care what the temperature is in your block!

Leave the sender right where it is (if it isn't leaking you don't want to take it out) and buy a new one. Make sure you buy one for a Cleveland and make sure it is for a temp gauge and not an idiot light. There is a place designed for it in the block just above the water pump.
