if thats what your looking for, should be close to the thermostat housing, should only have one wire going to it. found mine there, had to take the housing out of the way, good thing too, the failsafe thermostat was stuck open, it really worked, failsafe............worth the little extra money when living in the desert

thats where i found it, just a small single wire sending unit, as your looking at the motor from the drivers side, leaning on the fender, just below and to your left of the thermostat housing, had to remove the air filter housing and the thermo housing...
