Well, 82 watercooled doesn't have it, only 83+.

In 83-85 it lives above the fuse box but over against the side wall at
the end of the dash, high up there. Hard to get to without pulling the
instrument cluster first. Then remove the end top dash defroster vent
and hose out of the way and look in the hole. There is another relay
side by side with it. The second relay is the radiator fan high speed
relay. The coolant level relay will have a 43 stamped on the top, facing up.

(in 86+ it is right in the main fuse/relay panel where you can get it
in/out in 3 seconds)
