Jack,
drivers side of block about 2-3 spark plugs back.
Should have a single wire to it from the alternator loom.
Read recent posts on these senders before purchasing a replacement.
Apparently calibration is off on new ones so guage won't read correct temp.

Thanks Marshal.
For some reason I can't seem to locate it on this block. I figured it was where you said, but it just doesn't make sense. There is obviously not a lot of room with the spark plug and original exhaust manifold.......could you be a bit more s pacific please?

The sending unit is not on the block it is on the head (same area where you were looking). I have also seen them on the intake manifold near the radiator hose.
