Okay dumb question but would like to ask as I want to fix my temp gauge so it will work. but where is the location of the coolant sending unit I have I think found the wire that goes to the unit (it is melted and hanging so I cant track it) I really havent looked for the unit. I would like to know where it is so I can fix it today and I have looked on here trying to find pictures of the location and cant find nothing please help. I know it is probably somewhere obvious. if someone can take a pic to show me where and what it looks like that would be great.

Thanks

I put mine in the intake to keep it from picking up heat from the exhaust. That's it by the thermostat housing, reads perfect there.
