I don't have a clue on that. I think I would want it in the head. I drilled and tapped the head on mine to 1/2" NPT so I could use the stock '67-'72 gauge style sender.

Leon, How difficult was it to drill and tap the head for the stock 67-72 sender? I thought about doing that but frankly, I'm scared of screwing up the head

Made a sleeve for mine in the top radiator hose and ran a ground wire. One side has the temp sender, the other side the fan sensor.
