I have a 1995 F350 5.3L V8 and I am trying to locate the air charge temperature sensor

I'm not sure when they moved it from the lower intake manifold (driver side) but my '96 F150 has it just above the air filter in the stock air box.

Ford moved the ACT/IAT sensor from the lower intake, near the cylinder #6 runner, around 1994. Since your truck is most likely Speed Density it may still be there or on the side of the air filter box like the Mass Airflow (MAF) trucks.

Well it looks like one, but that doesn't look like a 5.8 to me so I deffer to other members.

On a F-350 with a big flat manifold & that vac tree, I'm thinking 7.5.
