I'm using the Carquest housing, so I only have two ports.

You could add a male run tee at the waterpump or the inlet of the filter housing to add the sender.

That's what I was thinking too. Then I just need to find a place to mount the gauge.

Update

Yes, It's several months later.

I've added a stand alone coolant temp gauge. My readings vary quite a bit from the OBD based Aeroforce numbers. Sometimes I see a 20* difference, other times, it's within 2 or so degrees.
Most of the time I'm seeing around 170* with ambient temps under 35*. When loaded up a little it'll rise - but not much. I've only seen the needle tickle the 190 mark once.
PICS:
