Hello all,

I just finished putting an engine together for my dad's '57 2 door hard top. The last engine ('67 327) had a tap on the intake for his temp sensor, the new manifold didn't have one so I put it in the head. It's always been my understanding that the head tap gives a higher temp (due to combustion) than the intake wear basically the coolant is returning at a lower temp. I noted this when dad's stock temp gauge was reading hotter than it did. Has anyone noticed this too and about how much higher would you expect. I know I'm going to have him add a shroud at some point.
