Hey peoples, I am looking to install a water temp guage on my 87 Lincoln 5.0. On the front of the lower intake manifold there appears to be a water jacket with a sensor stuck in it which I'm assuming is for the dummy light. Is there another water jacket in the back of the lower manifold that is empty? I don't want to pull out the dummy sensor because it may cause check engine light to stay on all the time and also would not know if the thing was overheating if I did not see it on the guage. Any ideas/suggestions? Thanks
