If I did have a heater, I would try the tee in the driver side port and if it didn't function to my satisfaction I would drill and tap another port as others have suggested.

Ok, thanks.

I'm going the path of least resistance for now. Holley sender on the right side and gauge sender on the left side as the Edlebreock Performance RPM manifold is drilled correctly for that.

I think I will look into an extension for the t-stat housing that is threaded for a sender as that would likely work well. I'm just not sure if it's physically possible in an SPF Cobra with a 351W block and the surge tank mounted at the top front of the engine.
