Drill and tap the water pump at a convenient location. You will get a Very delayed and Inaccurate reading where your showing it will be now. Edit, just saw the pic of the pump, my answer is the same. The water in the rad will take the shortest Path across at its entry starting at its top entry point. At that lower corner in the petcock a temp sending unit wont ever see correct temps.

I was meaning the WP housing on the block. Whats your water manifold setup like at the block, find a spot there or put in on the outlet side of it in a hose type connecter.

I would think the side fitting will need to be NPT
