Re: 5.3 swap build so far
Duh...wow can't believe I missed that the fitting in the back of the head, for the temp gauge, I got the temp sending unit with my gauges, but the fittings they got don't work, I seen some adapter fittings that should work, I also seen where some guys just use a different sending unit...wow my dumb moment was right there
