MasterFollow the radiator hose back to the engine you will find a coolant hose attached to a triangular flanged housing at the top middle of the engine secured by three bolts, thermostat is behind that housing.

The main branch stays on the left of the engine and goes straight to the firewall. A smaller metal tube splits off where the hose connects to a fitting on the tp left hand part of the engine and wraps around the front of the engine and bends down to connect to the block on the right side.
