Water Temp

Hello,
I am slowly plodding along rewiring my 52. I purchased an under dash set of gauges, oil pressure, voltmeter and water temp. I need help with the water temp sensor. I was planning to leave the original sender in place to go to the original dash gauge and wanted to add the new temp gauge. My question is on the 223 six (not original to truck) are there any other plugs in the water jacket? The only one I can find is on the rear ps side where the original water sender is. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!!

Usually in such a situation, you use a Tee at the block, and put both the senders in the branches of the Tee.
