coolant temp sending unit question

while i was doing the cluster swap i snapped off the coolant temp sending unit flush with the engine. tried using an easy out but that didn't work. its not leaking. i was thinking about putting a t-fitting in one of the coolant lines and putting the sensor there. does anybody know what would be the best line to get the sensor into? i just need my temp gauge to work so i know if i'm starting to overheat. thanks.

What year model? If its a pre 91 just get the T-stat housing off of a later model and put the sensor in it. You will need to adapt the 3/8" NPT down to 1/8" NPT with a brass adapter you can get at any home improvement center. Then extend the pig tail back to the connector.

its a 94 with a 4.0

OK my idea will not help you much, I think the CTS is in the T-stat housing on the OBD1.

Drill and tap a new hole in the front top of the water housing

is the front top of the water housing located at the front of the engine where the coolant sensor for the computer is?
