70 350 - Where to put temp sensor for fans ??

Is there a place on the 1970 Olds 350 heads for a sensor to go ??
I'm not at home right now to check.....just curious if the manifold is the only place to hook up a temp sensor / switch.

I know on the Chevies between the #1 & #3 cylinder there is as well #6 and #8. But it doesn't look like it can be done on these Olds motors. I know I can put them in the manifold, but looking to see if it's the only option or if the heads have a spot.

Some early Toronados had head bolts with a temp sensor in them. Of course, the normal sender in the intake coolant crossover will be a lot easier.

There are no plugs to remove in the heads for a temp sensor on Olds engines.

Thanks guys.

Oh well, I was hoping to keep it out of view. The sensor I got from Glowshift
gauges really sucks then because it's not registering the temps properly.
It's not brass, it's some kind of chromed metal......looks cheap.

I'll have to put in a different temp sensor then.
