Default PI Swap, where to place second temp sensor on intake HELP ASAP

So where can I place the second temperature sensor. Or can I just splice the wires and attached both sensor wires to the one sensor?

one of them is the sending unit for your gauge and the other is for the computer i believe. if theres only one port on the intake manifold go to the autoparts store and get a t.

tap the flat spot. 3/8-18 npt i believe it what it takes.. or you can always buy a T if you want to do it that way.

My heads have a sensor on the inside of the driver side head that i just plugged into. That is another option if you don't feel like taping it or buying a new cross over.

It is a 3/8 pipe thread. I just did a complete PI swap and found this out the hard way. there should be a spot that looks like it would hold another sensor left of the thermostat.

No, you can't splice into the other sensor, they have different values.
