Your best bet is to drill the breather in the water neck and tap it 1/8th pipe. Thats what I did.

---- all that tapping, and hacking. just buy a 3 way tee and stick the new sensor into the hose that goes to the water pump main line in back of the block, clean and discrete, no hack job.cheaper and less headache, if you don't understand i'll take a pic

^^ That's a good way to do it.

I have mine run off of an adapter installed in the rad. hose.
