>>>Originally, it was mounted in the pressure tank, which is dumb, as you 
don't care how hot the tank is, you care how hot the ENGINE is.   Most 
replacement tanks don't have provisions for the temp sender, as they wisely want 
you to move it to the front of the engine, where it should have been in the 
first place.

De Tomaso just installed a plug there; the sensor replaces the plug.   It 
faces forward.   As you view the engine from the cockpit, it is at the upper 
left, front of the block, facing forward, above and to the left of the water 
pump, and below the water pipe/thermostat.   It is blocked by the 
adjustment arm for the alternator, so the wire has to make an immediate 90-degree 
bend as it comes off the sender.
