Ok the range dosn't matter any more becuase I found a thermometer with a maximum of 300 degress! Wooo!

ok so the deal is this, I've extended a 6 inch probe thermometer into a 7 foot one, and it still works! this is awesome! now, where do i place it under the hood?


I think the intake of the radiotor would be good. Is there a safe way to get the probe touching the actual water in the radiator without it leaking? Or how are normal temp gauges set up?
