No coolant temp sensor in Brodix heads.

So I was assembling my motor today and got to the heads and noticed that my Brodix Track 1 heads don't have a spot for the coolant temperature sensor for the gauge #25037332. Can I get this signal somewhere else to retain function of the factory gauge? I'm using a LSX pcm and harness from EFI Connection.

Re: No coolant temp sensor in Brodix heads.

I needed to add a second coolant temp sensor, and I spliced a brass "tee" into the return line from the back of the heads. Your 96 has a different routing of that line though. It goes to the throttle body first (unless you have done the TB coolant bypass). But you should still be able to use it.

Personally, I would just drill and tap a hole into the water jacket if the head was off the engine.
