    What I was saying is run the temp sensor in the outer hole. Plug the inner hole. And block off the water outlet on the water pump.

    It's done. I built a Tee set-up woth brass fittings off the front hole and plugged the one by the dizzy. Not pretty but I will dress it up with AN fittings later. Thanks for all the input!
