You can drill and tap the thermostat housing and install it there (on top), or since you are having the factory gauge problems, you can remove the original one (drivers side lower manifold), install it there (still may have to tap it out to fit yoru sending unit). Another way is to get a inline radiator hose splice, its a metal tube that you cut the hose and install the splice and then you install the sending unit there, you need to do it in the top rad hose. the splice already has a fitting that you install any sensor, etc. in there.
