A while back I had written about how high my temp reading were on my engine (350 cubic inch GM). I had when replacing the engine some time ago moved the temp sensor as where in had been located was not working at all. I placed it in the only place it would go and that was in the side of the block at which time I was getting temp readings of 190 to 230 degrees depending on how hard I ran her.
Last year while looking at a photo of someone elses engine I saw they had the temp sensor mounted on the coolent line on the starboard manifold. I copied that and added a sensor there leaving the old one in place and set it up so I could look at one or the other. I got her running and lo and behold the one sensor was reading around 20 degrees less then the other. I am looking forward to seeing the difference when underway.
I was going to add a photo to show where I mounted it but so far have been unable to get the photo to show. I just thought that this info might be of interest to anyone who might be having the same type of problem.
