On the SuperC, the temp sensor is mounted intn the upper neck, the outlet from the head to the radiator. On the C, where it was an option, it was commonly mounted, as gene said, in the the lower casting, from the bottom of the radiator where it returns to the motor. If that casting does not have a plug in it that can be removed to accept the compression fitting for the temp robe, it should have a flat spot with some extra metal in the casting that can be tapped out for the purpose.
If the system is clean, I'll say that the gauge really isn't necessary. My '47 BN spent MANY long days in her working life cultivating beans and corn without overheating.
With a clean system your best gauges will be your nose, after allowing for any overflow from an initial filling, and eyes.
If, like me, your interest is in making sure it's warmed up before shutting down, the best place for the probe would be in the upper neck, but I don't know that that elbow on a C is well-suited with enough meat to give you a goodplace to tap in. The one on the SuperC is set up for it, but with the taller radiator on the Super C, it's not a direct part swap.
Without the gauge, best bet is to check it by hand. Head should be good and hot, borderline uncomfortable to rest your hand on. Side of the crankcase should be good and warm but not uncomfortable.
