hi rattler
the best place to fit a temp sender is around the cylinder head where the top hose returns back to the radiator, usually near the thermostat either in the head or thermostat housing. electric fans have there switches usually in the top hose so it can sense when the engine is hottest and requires additional cooling hope this helps
