I would think this is the hottest place to measure, unless you find somewhere at the back of the engine with less airflow. Would it be beneficial to know the radiator outlet temperature?
I had over heating issues on my 65 mustang, even with an aluminum radiator and electric fans.
Ended up putting in a temp sensor where the water exits the engine, and where it exits the radiator.
That gave me the temp difference across the radiator, so I could rule that or the fans out.
Turned out to be the electric fans did not have enough umpf at highway speeds.
More data is better than less data.
