need help locating temp sending unit!!

i recently bought an aftermarket temp gauge and i can not find the temp sending unit on 2002 4.6 f150 4x4. ive looked everwhere, even bought one of those chiltons books but they just show a pic of the unit, not where it is. does anybody know. ive heard there were several on the engine but i just need to find one to get a temp reading on my gauge. also got a fuel gauge, anybody know how to wire that in. i have never done any gauges before.

It senses the actual head temp, not coolant temp. It is under the intake in the drivers side head. This one feeds the dash gauge.
