I think jasper is right but that's not usually where it goes. Usually that port has the over temp light switch in it. That usually goes in the block over on the pass side of the IP gear tower.

Here is where mine was.

Here is the other head where that sender goes.

We're looking at the same part of the head, just different angles.
He has the intake side of the head towards us.

That little sender is closed till the coolant reaches 120 degrees. Then it opens and stops power going to the fast idle solenoid and the cold internal advance in the injection pump. the proper location for it on the engines is behind the thermostat housing. At the front of the drivers side head is the over temp check engine sender. It will close and cause the dash temp gauge to peg well past the "L" in normal. Test its function by removing the wire and grounding it. The dash gauge will swing way over to the hot "L" area. It also lights up a check engine message on the dash.
