the sensor is probably junk, location i'm not sure, could be in the side of the block or on the cyl head

did a quick search and came up with this
The temp sensor is in the driver's side head,between #1 & 3 cylinders. There is one green wire going to it

I don't have an SS, but rest assured ... plenty of SSs had a bench seat and column shifter. That combo on an SS is not as rare as you might think.

My vin does not have G as the eighth digit and it’s an SS

So I ran my vin number and it turned out my MC is a SS as well. The eighth letter is actually an “H”. I knew it had to be with it being a V8 and 5.0.

According to this article the 8th dight must be a "G" in order to be a Super Sport you claim your Vin has a "H" so it is not a Super Sport. Both engine's are V8"s Sorry it wasn't but either way still a cool car.
