Default 82 sending units

There are 2 sending units on my 82 engine. These are large brass hex style sensors. one is located on the front side of the drivers side and the other is located near the center of the passenger side. WHAT ARE THESE? I cant determine which is which is which by looking at the electrical schematic.

The one on the driver's side is for the Coolant Temp. guage in the dash. The one on the passanger side is for the aux. electrical engine cooling fan for the radiator.

I think the knock sensor is in the block, not the heads, which is where I believe the OP is looking.
