My model A speedster has a B head. The water pump and water outlet are built together. My question is where can I install the water temperature bulb for a water temperature gauge.?

I don't have a pic or link to, but they make a tap off the top radiator hose for the temp gauge pickup.
Maybe someone can link you.

If you have the tools/skill, you can drill and tap a water temp gauge on the left side that is not in the way of things.

A little expensive but great for a Model A head. He has a Model B (1932) head.

Why not put it in the top hose or even the top tank? It's not difficult to make a fitting to hold it and seal through the side of the hose and easy for a radiator shop to put one in the tank.

Because that would show the temp of the water coming OUT of the radiator where it should be at least 20° cooler.

These will not work on a "B" Head

I would suggest using the hose type fittings, the B pumps are not a dime a dozen like the Model A ones. I would not risk damaging the body of the casting by drilling a hole in it. I know there are guys that might have a few of them that are hordes that will pipe up and say they are easy to find but never seem to let go of the ones they have.
