Go to Diesel Manor's website and they have photo's of the recommended location on the exhaust manifold.
I have pre & post pyrometers on mine. Pre I watch when towing and post I watch before I shutdown the engine.

I never shut down mine if it is above 300 degrees F. Most times if I have to downshift my stick to wheel in to a fuel stop or a rest area it is almost there or below when I get stopped. Idling when just above 300 when hot takes several minutes cool down time. If you allow to idle for 15 minutes like ford recommends it will be below 250 degrees F. I find that the exhaust manifold temperature by the time it gets to 300 the Pre & post are only about 5 degrees apart.
