Howard,

I run a Renegade cooling system and have had overheating issues along the way. Most were due to problems caused by myself. I'll post some pics of my system and be glad to share what I have learned the last year and a half.

First pic is of water sender location. I actually run two gauges. The two brass fittings are my temperature monitor points. Since the water from pump is routed into block, to heads and then to intake prior to moving back to radiator, the intake is the preferred location of sender.

John
