302: water access points?
I am in the home stretch of this total 1968 F-100 restoratation. (replaced 300 with 302)I look forward to driving this thing someday!
How many access points is there for the 302 on the intake manifold? I can count 2: 1 for the heater hose, and one for the temp sender for the guage.
Problem: Now I need a access point for the "temperature-controlled" fan, which has a switch that is to be mounted to the intake manifold or block. Based on the only 2 access points that I can see that are taken, what else can I do?
Possible solution: Is there a "Y" that can be purchased so that both the Temp Guage sender and the Fan Temp switch can cap off of the same whole? Or is there a connection that can be added instead for the heater hose access? Or is there another tapping point I'm not aware of?
I would love to hear what the solution might be!
Thanks,
Mark

What about a thermostat housing with an extra port? That's where I have my fan switch. I know Ford Motorspprts has one for the 302 with a port, but the neck is at 90 degrees. Check around.

You can get the thermostat housing with the sensor hole in it, or you may be able to find a heater hose fitting with one in it also. You could even get a brass"T" block and put 2 barbed fittings in it and put it in the heater supply hose and install your fan switch in there. This goes the same for the question about using a stock and aftermarket gauge at the same time.
