Re: water temp guage (hcivic99)
ac autotechnic has an in line hose adapter that works the best. i have never installed a temp gauge but if you didnt want to go that way, there is a single pin sensor in the side of the head that works the stock gauge. you can put it there.

GReddy makes those too. You could proably make a variant of that with piping from autozone for cheaper

dude if you buy one of those pre-made ones, all you do is cut the upper rad hose and then put that thing in between it. If you make your own, you do the same thing, but you have to get the piping tapped for the size your sensor is. It isnt too hard. Just buy oin of these and go from there.

Re: (hcivic99)
In a D-series head just under the distributor there are a pair of hex-screws that sit flush with the aluminum. One of them (top, I think) is for coolant, bottom is for oil. Most oil pressure and coolant temperature sensors will thread into these holes without any trouble. That's what I tapped my oil pressure gauge on my Autometer, only after discovering that the top one was coolant and not oil
