Where can you put a temp sensor on a 283 other than the thermostat housing?

You can install a temperature sensor on a 283 engine at the intake manifold, specifically near the water jacket, which can provide an accurate reading of coolant temperature. Another option is to place it in one of the cylinder head's water jacket plugs, if there's an available port. Additionally, using an adapter fitting in the radiator hose can also be a viable location for monitoring coolant temperature.
