1970 250 I6 oil temp sensor

Just purchased a truck very similar to my truck in high school. 1970 GMC SWB stepside. I am newby basic tech. The truck had the basic dash cluster and I am in process of upgrading to Classic Instruments full gauge dash panel. I have been able to figure out all sensors except one, Classic has provided a engine temp sensor that they say should be mounted in the intake manifold. It is large and I cannot find where it would go. Any thoughts or guidance would be appreciated. Thanks

Re: 1970 250 I6 oil temp sensor

It’s not oil temperature, it’s coolant temperature you’re hooking up.
Your 250 doesn’t have any coolant in the intake. Those instructions are for a v8.
Your sensor goes into the thermostat housing on the front of the motor.

On my '68 292 L6, the Temp probe is in the left side of the head.
It's between Intake ports #1-2 and Exhaust port #2.
