They are both on the front of the intake manifold. The one over the water neck with the bigger plug is the one that goes to the computer, the one just to the right of the dist(looking at it from the front) with the single wire and connector that slides over the threaded post goes to the dash guage.

the dash gauge can be tested by grounding it and then checking to see if the gauge in your truck moves all the way to hot. If so the unit is good and the computer plug is malfunctioning.
