Should be on the back of the engine (toward the firewall) on the top of the intake...

Since when does coolant run across the back of the intake?

my coolant ports for the sending units are on the front of the intake.....one by the T-stat and one furthur right on the intake.....i personally use the one next to the T-stat so you can see at what temp the Tstat opens by watching for fluxuations on the guage......plus thats where the hottest water in the engine is at, waiting to get past the T-stat and out to the radiator....
