i just tossed it there so it was easy to get to mainly. and the bottom of the radiator usually runs quite a bit cooler than the top (when i was hitting it with the lazer yesterday) so i figured that i would put it in the fastest heating up part of the radiator, then i lazered the block and made it turn on when the block got to the temp i wanted (got close, then let it idle up till the desired heat was reached. ended up that the block was about 20 deg hotter than the top of the radiator.

and i got PMed about a wiring diagram, i can work one up here in a day or two, it was super easy, but i will do that and post it up.
