Water pressure sensor location on an 82' 150hp Black Max?

Hello, where is the factory water pressure sensor location on a 1982 Mercury BM 150hp sn# 6101202

Hell I tried looking for an 1/8th inch line, but didnt see one. I am also assuming the gauge is ready pressure, not from a sensor.

I need to learn how to remove the steering wheel, then pull the dash on a 1982 ranger 350v, to sort out all my gauges!

They do t always have one. Some have a plug on the block you can remove and use but I think your year model will require you to tie into the water tube coming from the thermostats on the top back of your motor.

Thanks. There is a gauge, but i dont think it works really. I looked around the t-stats to find where someone would jump in & i didnt spot anything. I am hoping the location is somewhat accessible. if not, i intend to jump in between the t-stats, as its right there. Thanks for the quick reply.

Here are some pics i took of the motor a while back.

Please lmk if you see it or anything that is glaringly wrong to knowledgeable eyes.

Thanks in advance!

Fitting right in the top of the block, directly behind the flywheel.
