    Right now my temp sensor is in the intake where the heater hose is suppose to be... Where do I relocate it to, so I can hook up the heater hoses ? It's a edlebrock alum. intake...

    My Edelbrock Performer intake has a 3/8 NPT tap into the top of the coolant passage at the front of the intake. Its at the far left end of that passage. That's where the original sensor is and its attached to the original wire. Must be where it was on the factory intake too.

    My Edelbrock and summit intakes both have ports at the rear too. I used those since its closer to the firewall for cleaner routing.

    You can also install a pipe "TEE" in the intake to double the ports available. Use brass fittings for this.
