How about drilling and tapping the unused end of the plastic coolant distribution tower in front of the firewall (above the starter) There is a natural place on the driver's side of this piece.  Or how about tapping the coolant drain hole on the passenger side of the engine - then you could get a coolant reading in the water jacket that surrounds the cylinders?

Two places I have thought of - don't know if they are wise choices or not.

> Hello All:

Well...the process of resurecting my 1990 Carat is
underway. I want to install a VDO Coolant gauge and
while the engine is being replaced I figured it was a
good time.

I posted this question awhile back and there was alot
of discussion/dissent.

Anyone found a really good place to mount the sending unit???
