Re: cts

[Shannen Durphey <shannen@grolen.com>]

I would not mount the CTS in the housing.  If at all possible, put it
on the engine side of the thermostat.  I have a temperature gauge
sender in the thermostat housing in my 57 pickup, and even with a
bleed hole in the 'stat, the gauge shows little temp increase until
the engine's warm.  Right after the thermostat starts to open, the
gauge shows some of the temperature fluctuations that the 'stat's
natural cycling causes.  Every engine is different, but I'd put a
gauge or light sender in the coolant outlet before I'd install the ecm
sensor.
