Now that I've discovered where the ambient air temperature sensor is located on my vehicle I'm building a snorkel out of flashing to fix the problem of the gauge reading almost 10 degrees too high after installing the grill blocks.


There is a verticle cross member on the header that the sensor is fixed to. This should direct enough fresh air to overcome the heatsoak.
