Follow the top radiator hose from the radiator to the block. The little domed piece it connects to houses the thermostat.

Just a little hint, make sure you drain the coolant from your radiator through the petcock on the bottom. If you pull that hose you'll have antifreeze all over the place, and it wouldn't be fun to clean up. Oh, and don't forget to put new coolant in. Sometimes its the little things you forget.
