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

I have noticed some small allen head bolts in the area below the plugs, maybe those are utilized for the CHT senders? Here's another (related) question - When folks use the double sender for the pressure gauge (includes idiot light) and mount it next to the fan housing what then happens which the sender placed back above the flywheel area? Is it used for anything? Any real reason to use a double?

how small? i'm having a hard time picturing "small" Allen bolts on the head - but i think you may be referring to the inhex barrel nuts that hold the cam towers to the heads. IAC - the sender goes under the spark plug. one per gauge, unless you switch them as noted. or you use multiple-gauge heads - aircraft use these all the time.

i don't think there's a reason to use two oil pressure switch senders. pick one. i'd use the one the factory uses and ignore the switch portion of the combo sender.

my car doesn't have a light, (and my engine came with no switch...) so i need to pick up a switch, wire it to a light i don't have, *and* relocate the pressure gauge sender...
