I relocated my sender to the outlet from the manifold. I put in a tee and screwed the sender into the side of the tee. Not once did I have an urge to move it back to the head.
My temp gauge is also moved. The thermostat housing deadends with the temp alarm sensor, the water exits from the spot where the stock temp sensor used to go, it has a T, one branch has the gauge temp sensor and the other branch goes to the exhaust manifold.
I have used my IR on it enough times to know it is reasonably accurate.
