Is this a suitable engine temp sensor for MS/FrankenCIS?
 

The simple VW bus head temp sensor suggested in an alternate thread is now made of unobtainium. I'm looking for an alternate way to sense engine temperature.

I was considering this. It is supported/suggested for MS installations.

Would this be a suitable sensor for this particular application? If not, suggestions for better alternatives?

I was considering mounting in the breather cover in place of the thermovalve. Either machining an adapter, or drilling/tapping as necessary to make it fit.

Would this be a suitable location? If not, suggestions for better alternatives?

Thanks

I did exactly what you're saying with that sensor mounted in the breather cover. Works well for me.

Thanks Dos531.

Where did you pick up manifold pressure?

I believe I got it off the throttle body, ill have to double check.

The line that originally went to the thermo valve in the breather cover?

Not sure, that thermovalve hasnt been hooked up in a long time on my car.
