    I have a '76 Comet with a 250 cu.in. six.

    I have poked around under the hood. I've searched the factory shop manual. I've searched Google.

    Can somebody tell me where the ^%$%^$# water temp sender is?

    I want to install the sender for an aftermarket gauge.

    It is at the back of the motor in the head.

    That's sort of what I was afraid of. Probably be tough to get at.
