Welcome! Here's the most recent discussion on the temp senders. Your engine is a 59 series most likely, but it should be similar. It could have dual temp gauges, no telling what the services specified.

Neat video Ross.

Quick answer, the temp senders are in the middle of the heads - both 59AB and 8BA series. One in each head for that half of the engine.
