To me there are 2 types of temp gauges. Electric which uses a sender with an adapter installed in the head or block. The other is one that has a bulb at the end of the capillary tube coming from the gauge like the 32-38 Fords.The 32-34 Ford sender/bulb mounts in the upper radiator hose with an adapter. The 35-36 temp gauge mounts in the port of the water pump so does not need an adapter.The 37-39 temp gauge also requires an adapter as it mounts in the cyl head..
