PI intake temp sensor?
Hi guys, Anyone know where the stock temp sensor belongs on a Superduty PI intake?
I completed a NPI intake swap, and it looks like I may need to drill and tap this sensor either into the AL crossover section (same location as my NPI intake sensor), or into the upper hose elbow? Problem is my sensor is like 5/8 thread...I read on a f150 forum the PI temp sensors took a 3/8 thread?
thanks - Neil

The location must have moved from the intake manifold with the PI change, the 2003 superduty PI intake I installed had no plug tapped where I would have expected it. And also my lightning PI lower intake (on the shelf) is missing this sensor port.
Looking closer, the npi temp sensor thread is the same as a spark plug, and I happened to have that particular tap on hand...
So I tapped the elbow and works great. Note to others attempting this: don't get smart and put the hole on the flat spot inline with the manifold bolt cause then your screwed (good thing I had a spare elbow).
