1977 300D sluggish after warming up.

I'm pretty new at these 5 cylinder diesel motors. Could someone point me to the temp sending unit? My temp gauge does not work and I wanted to start there to troubleshoot. I have not had this car very long, but I did notice that the secondary cooling fan was disconnected as well. I suspect that this is due to past electrical issues with various sensors (if this thing is anything like my 84' BMW) and was disconnected. It also seems sluggish lately after it warms up. However this may due be due to an over tightened alternator belt, possibly causing the heat to go up? (just put in a new regulator and I will check that out today)(this happened on my BMW when I tightened the belt too tight). Recent work would include: new regulator, new fuel filters, new fuel lines, new motor mounts, new side markers, oil and trans fluid change.
