You're putting the metal sender inside a plastic T tap?

Autozone sells them by the gas caps.

Meh, if the stock sender won't work, i don't blame you for not wanting to tap the head.
Get a different gauge and sell that one maybe?
My Faze gauge works on the stock single pin sender just fine?
I wouldn't be putting it into a T tap though.. lol

you're looking for a tap? or just a splitter?

i would recommned going and looking through home depot or any other hardware store...
you have quite a few choices...
you can put a t off the block where any of the stock temp sensors are, then your stock one still works and you can T off for your new sensor...

thats what i would recommend you look into...
you could prob also use a T on any of the smaller coolant lines going to or from the IAC... this might be a good option depending on what fittings you can find

only if the temp sender for the guage you are installing has the same resistance as the stock sender. Just t it off.

A little more bling than you are probably looking for, but an idea nonetheless.


Try looking on Aeroquip's site too, they might have what you are looking for.
