Temperature gage for 1934 Flathead V8

[deskjet894]

How can I use a temperature gage on a 1934 Ford V8 flathead?
The 1934 water pump has no provision for a temperature sender.
The 1935 water pumps do have a provision for a temperature sender but nobody makes new ones.

Originally there was a fitting placed in the upper radiator hose . But if you’re not worried about what’s correct then use the later pump with the port for the temp gauge.

If your gauge is an original dualtemp you will need to have an adapter made.The original dualtemp has a female threaded nut .The port on the 35,36 w/pump has female threads.
