Cylinder head temperature gauge install, where to get and how to install - should do this while motor is out and tin is off Options

[DRPHIL914]

Being a 2.0 late car and having a tendency to run on the hot side and living in a hot climate, I think I should consider a cylinder head temp gauge. I have not seen one installed and would like to know how to proceed.
Now since putting the backdated HE on and the aux oil cooler oil temps have never been over 225/230 at the hardest running in the mountains on sustained up hill climbs. And I will finally have everything cleaned off properly and the tins all removed from the motor , under side cleaned up and have new warm air guides that were not on the car before, which should help as well.

Either way seems like a good time to do this.

advice on installation, wiring etc

Thanks,

Phil

I acquired a used center console that contained 2 VDO heat temp gauges but no TC's
the VDO website had no info on what type thermocouples they're intended for
(type J or K ???)
I purchased from E-bay with the 14mm washer some of each for about $15 each and tested up to boiling temp of water & determined that type J read more accurately. Not yet installed, but I have engine fully assembled on shop floor and need to cut an access hole in the top tin to pass the TC wire out, then send it along the main harness into the cockpit
