I noticed that this got bumped to the second page so I thought I would bring it back to the top for you. You may have a little more success asking this question in the INLINE SIX forum that is just down from this forum. The question is an ENGINE SPECIFIC question anyways.

Welcome to FTE and good luck on getting some help!

It's not really an engine specific question if he's talking about where to mount the gauge. I'd personally mount it just slightly to my right on the dash, where others will mount it slightly to the right or left below the dash. I personally hate looking down for gauges, and rather look at it at a glance sort of thing.

if you are talking about for the probe, the in dash sensor is at the back of the engine. Right below the #6 cyl intake and exhaust. I ran my line right up through the dash speaker hole and mounted on the dash. since the speaker was junk i took it out and it works pretty good.

I went back and re-read his question. I guess it could mean where to put the probe or the gauge. I read it as where to put the probe on the enjoy. Oh well. I just wanted to help out a new guy and get his post back to the top.

Good point Beast. And let's hope he replies back with a bit more information to say which it was, and whether any of this information was useful to him.
