1982 ford 1700 28hp diesel overheating question

[Mlacross]

I purchased a new water pump and was hoping to replace the thermostat, but when I took old pump and radiator hoses off, including port between upper hose and block, there was no thermostat. Anyone know where it would be located?

It should be under the upper hose attachment to the head, the housing has a small hole to prevent airlock and should be cleaned out. Note drill bit in photo.
