unless you configure a t- fitting there arn't any extra holes....so just remove the old temp sensor in the drivers side front intake area and place the mechanical probe there...besides who needs the stock one anyway all it tells you is when the motor is cold or hosed!!!

he is right. the front drivers side of the intake you will see where the electric one screws into the intake. take that out and put the new one in there. i did the same thing. my gauge crapped out so i got a mechanical one works great
