There are two temperature sensors on the 460 engine. Both are located on the top front section of the lower intake manifold just about in the center of the engine. They are almost in-line with each other.
The front temperature sensor is for the engine's computer. That unit has a few vacuum lines attached to it.
The rear temperature sensor has a single wire going to it. This is the sensor that is attached to your temperature gage and is the one that you are looking for. It is best seen by looking at it from the passenger's side of the engine.
