I have a 50" TO-20, I would like to install a temperature gauge in place of the ammeter. Anybody ever accomplished this ? Any plugs on the block to do this ?
Thanks..... .....

Yup, the plug in the coolant manifold coming off the front of the engine is where the temp. sensor bulb goes. Need to clean out the port real good to get a good seal. The actual seal is at the flat face at the bottom of the drilled port, not the threads. Keep an eye out for the capillary tubing length. A lot of generic kits have way to long capillary tubing. If you have trouble finding a guage specifically for a TO-20, the temp. sensor for a Ford NAA-600 series works perfectly, no extra capillary tubing, threads right in. Might consider drilling a hole in the dash for the guage, and keeping or fixing the amp guage, I drilled a hole in the dash for a temp. guage too. Took several days to get-up the nerve to do it, only took about 5 minutes to actually do it. Good luck!

There is a port on the coolant outlet elbow from the head that has a boss with a plug in it for a temperature sensor. Temperature on these beasts is usually sensed with capillary tube sensor and the bulb from that system goes in the hole in the elbow and the capilary tube is routed throughthe engine "compartment" and to the dash where the guage is located. This type of temperature sensor is all one connected unit;the sensing bulb, the capillary tube, and the guage.

Why not install the temp. gauge in addition to the amp? I added a fuel gauge and a volt meter where I had none. A two inch hole saw and a couple of skinned knuckles later I have oil, volt, fuel, and temp. This was an FE35. Not sure about the "20". Look for a plug on or near the thermostat housing. Go for it. Good luck.

Cosmo has a good point ,leave the ammeter, you need it also just get a good 2 inch hole saw and pick a spare spot make sure you look behind the dash ,i did a to30 and a te20 and thinking about it is the hard part ,it takes 1 hour to do a neat job.
Good luck
