Water temp sensor location on FB?

I need to find out where the electric water temp sensor is on the engine in an FB. There's one that's for the electric choke release or something, that's on the thermostat housing, front passenger side of the engine.

BUT there's supposedly another one somewhere, and I need to find out where, because.. well because I do. Can anyone tell me where the other water temp sending unit is located?

Its just to the left of that, toward the rotor housing.

yeah that bell thing is the oil pressure sending unit, right? mine has nothing hooked up to it though, just that bell looking thing, with no hose or anything running off of it to determine the pressure, is something wrong there?

there's only ONE connection to it? How am I supposed to connect a sensor to it if there's only one wire connecting to it? That makes no sense, you need two points of connection to measure resistance.. ugh

There's two connections...

One of them is to the engine, and therefore the chassis.. It's called ground.
