I got a mechanical water temp guage today and was wondering where I should install the capillary tube tip.

i had mine installed. After reading the auto meter instructions with drilling into the head etc i didnt wanna screw with it.

" I'd rather run last in a full out race, than to NOT run at all ".

 

Can I just remove the sensor from my stock temp guage and put this one in it's place or will that disable something else?

 

u can but then ur stock gauge wont work. I wanted everything to work including stock stuff

" I'd rather run last in a full out race, than to NOT run at all ".

 

Well my stock guage is broke. Is it the sensor under the throttle body or the one by the distributor?

 

if the temp sensor is fragged wouldnt that make the engine run ruff. i mean the computer has to know what the temp is to adjust fuel mixtur and $hit. or is sensor strickly for the factory gauge.

Yep, just remove the factory sender. It should be on the outermost corner of the driver's side head, at the front. That's what I did. I also had to buy an Autometer adapter to convert the smaller fitting on the gauge to the larger hole in the head.
