or you could get a ruler and measure the hole size in the intake and the od of the temp sensor bung, I know the threads are npt threads, so the measurement will tell you what one you need.

So i can get that adapter piece i need at a hardware store ? It just screws into the larger hole, and has threads inside that for the sensor to screw in ?

I'll check it out tomorrow. I'll go over to my car and take measurements, cuz the intake is already touqued down, and we sprayed the gaskets, so they are prettttty sticky. Thanks alot for all your input, i appreciate it.

Well thats good new, cuz thats where i put it. So now i just to plug up the larger hole where it originally was ? I put teflon on the sensor threads too.

And it functions just as it would where it originally was ?

EDIT: just checked out your pics too, wow, i love it. That looks amazing. I think i'm sold on black rims.

When you say burp it, just let it run out all the air, right ? Let it run with the cap off till no more bubbles come out ? I've never done it, but i've heard of it.
