Dear Laura,

I'm certainly no expert on temp gauges, but I will tell you how mine is
setup. First it is a very nice style of the time, in fact it was quite a
while before I realized it wasn't original. It sets to the right of the
radio, goes straight out into the engine compartment. The gauge is
connected near the top of the radiator, about 1 to 1 1/2 inches down on
the back side. Now cometh the rub, you may or may not have a connection
there. Mine was on when I got the car and this may also have been added.
It is a hex head. I'm sure there are several other places for
connections points if there is nothing there on your Met. 

One more suggestion, as the work progresses, don't overlook the hood
connection. Many have failed at highway speeds, replace it with
something that won't give way on you. It is one of the weaker parts of a
Met
