How could it be on the exhaust manifold between 7 and 8? You must mean 6 and 8, right? Same with 1 and 2, you mean 1 and 3, right?
I've never seen any kind of sensor on the actual exhaust manifold on a car that old, I have no idea what that could be, maybe it's not the original motor. The one on the driver's side is most likely the sensor for the coolant temp gauge, should be a dark green wire going to it.
Keep the shiny side up!

On my 79 L-82 the sensor in the right head between the 6 and 8 cylinders is for the auxilary electric cooling fan and the sensor in the head between the 1 and 3 cylinders is the temperature gauge sensor. FYI the cylinders on the driver's side (left) of your engine are numbered 1-3-5-7 and on the passenger (right side) are numbered 2-4-6-8.
