Answer
HAYNES manuals are what I use to locate many of the items on vehicles I own.  Your thermostat will be underneath the neck of the hose leading from the engine to the TOP of the radiator.
The thermostat can be installed incorrectly, so make sure you follow the instructions to ensure it's installed properly.
Make sure you replace the gasket also.
