Temp sender?
Greetings all.
I am a new member with a 54 f100. I run a basic stock y-block with upgrades in the future. My problem is when I got the truck there was no temp sender . I have been told that ford had on located in the rear freeze plug on the head. Is this true? I cannot find any info about it. Any info would be great. Thanks Kurt G.

Sorry my bad. I run a 63 Ford 292. 2bbl. single exaust. I don't drive it much. It's seen 200 miles in the past 5 yrs. To get a temp gauge I pulled return line from intake and installed sender. But now no heater. Thanks Kurt G.

Sorry, my bad as I didn`t notice the Y-Block part in your first post. 
Mine has the temp sender in the rear top left head, it`s not a frost plug but a threaded opening for the sender.

I just went out and looked at the head and it has a freese plug but, I just discovered something. Above the oil sender is a water jacket with a plug in it. guess where the sender is going. Thanks Kurt G.
P.S. Now I feel like a total idiot (man do I hope its the last time).

Sounds like you are on the right track now.
No, you aren`t an idiot, just learning which is a good thing, we were all there at one time.
Keep up the good work and the old truck alive.
