Where is COOLANT TEMP. SENSOR located?

Hey everyone, where is the Coolant Temperature SENSOR located? I can't find it in any of my manuals. I found the sending unit no problem, but where is the sensor?

Thanks in advance.
Steve

What engine? It's usually in the intake manifold or stat housing.

On a FI 302, the sensor for the gauge is on the drivers side front of the intake manifold, one wire. The computer uses one also that is on the right front of the engine, hidden by the upper intake, two wire connector. Should be the same for a 351.
