Got it, thanks P.R., at the 4 to 5 o'clock position from the filler.

the back is your temp thermosensor, don;t mess with thatl.. its reads the temp of the motor in a .01 to .5 volt range. mess with that and your car will run like s---.. like if your coolant is low and that sensor is not submerched it will read 0 and ecu's don;t like zero!

so your saying swapping out the neck for the k8 one is a bad idea chopper??? cause its should be a basic swapover.

tapped yours, so you grabbed the sensor from the k8 grabbed a drill bit and tapped a hole in the coolant neck and shoved the sensor in then just plugged it into the ZE wiring harness? or where abouts did you wire it to?

The harness is your K8's. So there should be a plug just hanging around the neck.
