Temperature Switch

I was wondering if anyone can tell me where the temperature sending switch should be for my 74 F100. It has a 302 that's been swapped out with another year 302, don't know what year though. Also I have a gauge in my dash, not a light. Thanks for your help!

Andy

Most temperature sending units mount in the intake manifold near the thermostat housing.

Thanks Raytasch and Impalaslayer! That's exactly where I found it. The distributor was blocking it when I was looking for it earlier.
