I cant say for sure on your application, but on my 90 350 tpi, it is passenger side, rear, upper intake, just infront of the coil.

You don't have a MAP sensor on your car, 85-89 TPI didn't use that sensor since they were MAF controlled systems. 90-92 TPI were MAP cars or Speed Density and is located where Dark Ember said.

Why were looking for it in the first place?

You need to know what type of setup you own ; MAP or MAF ( Ref post # 3 above )
The same error codes used on both setups
