I have a diesel, so his instructions don't apply for me.  I'd actually
have room for the tee and both senders at the stock location on the head,
but I don't trust all that weight hanging off a brass nipple.  A friend of
mine had one snap off once in a similar installation.

Haven't decided where I'll mount the senders yet.  Either on the firewall
or on a bracket connected to some of the valve cover nuts, probably.
Firewall would be easier and "cleaner" but would expose the hose to more
stress from vibration.
