There is only one sensor in the head of a F-body; the coolant temp sensor which on the driver's side front


There is a plug on the rear of the passenger side because the heads are interchangeable from side to side

The coolant sensor goes on the front side of the driver side head and there's a plug that goes on the passengers side in the same spot on the head.

Now a question for you, besides the lack of symmetry (not having one in the passenger side) what brought you to ask about it?
