Best place to put Temp probe

I used one of these thermostat housings and drilled and tapped the flat area for an aftermarket temperature sensor in combination with the factory setup to “calibrate” my ‘69 Dart temp gauge which has no temperature numbers.

It’s Dorman part number 902-3012.

Not sure if it will fit a slant 6.

It does fit small and big block engines.
