oil sender right by the cooler/filter, theres an allen plug in the housing there that you take out to use for the aftermarket gauge fitting. water temp is on the crossover tube, i pulled the stocker and used a tee for 5 bucks that holds the aftermarket as well. next? :D

Jack up your car and look right below the driver side exhuast manifold and there is just a bolt in the block(dont know what for). But If you remove this bolt most of your coolant will pour out and you can put your water temp sender in this spot. This is in my opinion the best spot for the sender, Its the same spot I used on my Cobra it gets a very accurate reading and you dont see any wires. Autometer supplied enough fitting to make it work when I did it.

simple, just go buy a tee and run both from that same hole.

Nobody has just 1 post, Newbie. JK ... welcome to the Forums, Nate.

I can see a lot of the old familiar questions at the starting gate. Remember to look at the "Sticky" FAQ: SN95 common issues.. There's a lot of good information in there. A repair manual will be extremely helpful while you're "learning" the Cobra. Auto Zone has a fair priced manual ... Haynes.

I just used the hole where the factory pressure sender is and tee'd them right there it was a little tougher to do then I though ubt the reading from it actually turned out a little better than from my buddy that placed his in the other hole.
