305 sensor question.

I have a 91 RS 305 TBI. I took it out in October to get rebuilt. I knew that it would be a little while by the time I was able to get it rebuilt and back in so I video taped as much of the disassebly as I could/thought I needed. Most of the small parts and bolts I labeled and put in bags. Well 5 months later time to drop her back in. It is all back in with just about everything back together. The guys that rebuilt the engine for me were kind enough to plug off just about every freakn' hole in the block. So, time to watch the video as to where the sensors go. I got them all in EXCEPT 1. I had it in it's own bag labeled (passanger side, Block), I guess in my infinite wisdom I thought I could figure it out. WRONG! The only sensor that I see that goes over there is the knock sensor. In the loom with the knock sensor wiring is another connection that fits this sensor. I have NO clue to where the heck it is supposed to go. I have looked all over the passanger side of the block and the only other hole is where there is a soft plug. I don't think it goes there, the hole is way too big. The top of the sensor is blue & looks just like the knock sensor if that helps anyone. It is a round hollow nipple with a small electrical male shaft in the center of it. Any clues?? I really don't want to get the car running and have to take it to the dealership to have them do it.

Thanks,

Thanks Stekman. I checked last night and Tah Dah, there it is. The yuck that worked on my engine put a plug in and painted over it. I couldn't see where it was located.
