Default Autometer Water Temp Mechanical...Install Help!!!

Ok i posted this in the integra forum like 5 days ago and have recieved no replies yet, so im hoping this is the place to be...anyway...i got my A/F and water temp gauges with my pod like two weeks ago and im trying to figure out how to hook up the water temp gauge. The "reader" at the end of the wire is about 2 or 3 inches long and is shaped somewhat like a small finger...the problem is i cannot think of place where it will go. Id really like to get these things in finally but am stuck on where this one will run....any help would be great...thanx in advance!

it goes into a coolant line or passaage. you either need to drill linto oa housing and tap it to screw in, or you need to put a T on a line and tap it into that.

i tried the t fitting where my stokc water temp goes but you will get inaccurate readings 15-30 degrees cooler than the temp engine actually is. i tapped into the upper radiator hose housing on the engine and it was pretty thin so it got stripped the couple threads it had.
so i used a epoxy called quick steel and put it around the sensor so it will hold it in place and prevent leaks
