So... as far as the late 80's water neck... The upper rad port is angled lower than on a traditional water neck. Thus focing me to relocate the water temp sender on my Edel Performer mani.

I haven't started working on the truck again yet (it's 20* out right now), BUT I'm considering using a water neck spacer (1" aluminum from Jegs or Summit).

Initially, I just ran an inline temp sensor housing in my upper rad hose, but then I couldn't find a 1/2"npt or 3/8"npt temp sender with the right ohms and sweep
So, I've got this kinda bling aluminum inline port now, which I'm considering using for a Flex-A-Lite temp sender to control heated seat switches... or... hmmmm
Sooooo, have you started the engine up with this setup, lmk if you get heat when you do. My idea is not panning out like I hoped, I may go your way and drill and tap the inlet if there is enough metal there to support it
