On a 90: center of the engine, in front under all the junk. The bottom of the intake I believe. Probably the same on yours. Take off all the intake ducting and look down below the throttle body, its in there! Might even be in the block, it's pretty deep in there. I forget exactly but I know its not easy to see.

Sounds like you want the gauge sender in passenger side head, single dark green wire, spade connector.
