couple of days ago, ive noticed that ive been running a little on the hot side. so i do what any right minded individual will do, replace what i think is the culprit, and move on. long story short i pretty much replaced everything. new thermo, water pump, radiator, radiator cap, and a coolant flush. YES I BLEED THE SYSTEM USING THE BLEEDER HOLE, ON A UPWARD HILL, AND I ROCKED THE CAR AT ALL ANGLES TO TRY AND HELP THE AIR BUBBLES OUT.

the problem, i have is that after my cars sits for 8 plus hours, ill run it for about 5 minON IDLE, and my guage will tell me that im running hella hot, ill turn the heater on, and it'll be hella cold. ive read how inaccurate the temp guages can be, so i bought an aftermarket one.

QUESTION 1 will the soch lower radiator hose adapter work, becau i still need the hose adapter to tap the temp sender in.

QUESTION 2 where is the best place to splice in that hose adapter, UPPER RADIATOR HOSE OR LOWER RADIATOR HOSE.
