I am installing a Dakota digital kit and need to find the coolant sensor plug location to install a new sensor in the car listed above with original 305 factory motor.

Sure, the engine coolant temperature sensor is located in the intake manifold towards the front of the engine. Check out the images (below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.
