The one for the gauge is in the driver side head between #1 and #3 cylinders.

The one for the fans is on the passenger side head, between #6 and #8 cylinders.

The one for the ECM is in the intake manifold.

Specifically, the ECM one is screwed into the front of the intake manifold just left of the thermostat housing.
