I was just eying the water pump bypass hose that goes from the water pump housing to the fitting on the front of the block under the surge tank. Would it be OK to put an inline fitting in that hose so I can put the temp sender for the gauge there?

It is out of the way so it wouldn't be very obvious and looks like it is 1/2-3/4". I assume there is coolant flowing through this all the time that is reasonably close to engine temperature.

Thanks!

IMO the question is somewhat irrelevant. If you're going EFI you should be running a single plane intake anyway, so ditch that dual-plane and get the proper intake.
