I need to pick up a CHT gauge and sender and was wondering where the sender mounts on a 2.7L six?

The sender is a big ring terminal, and fits under the plug's washer. You can run N senders with one gauge, but you need to rig up a switch to connect both sender wires to the gauge input wires (so a double-pole, double-throw (DPDT) switch can do two senders with one gauge). Under the plug is the only accurate place to put them. The head does not get to a uniform temp, and under the plug gets you as close as possible to the combustion chamber, which is what you're really trying to measure.
