What I have in mind is to insert the probe _through_ the tee and into the manifold. Since there is not much flow, the slight blockage from the wiring _shouldn't_ have a big effect on engine operation. I hope.

You're probably right. I'm just trying to drop the temp a few degrees and will be surprised if it makes much of a difference in performance.
I
am hoping that temps will drop faster after a long stop light during hot S AR Summers, but I'm not expecting miracles.
