Stell,

Yup...



Incidentally, that's an AutoMeter switch, not a HyperTech.

Since my heads have no provision for the stock gauge sensor, I moved mine to the top of the water pump. Now my temp doesn't ever get above 110*

i believe there should be a plug in the head on the pass side of the car...should be between the #5 and 7 cyls. take it out and there you go. this is where your temp sender would go if the pass head was actually on the drivers side...
