Welcome, Mark.

John gave you most of the information.

The temp sensor is located right at the radiator hose on the driver's 
side of the engine. It is tough to get out if the gland nut is over 
tightened. You may have to pull the thermostat housing and use a drift 
from the inside to get it out.

Good luck and welcome aboard!

Peace,
Pat
