It's on the shaft of the water pump in front of impeller. You'll need to replace the water pump again.

I have another question as I said I put new lifters, timming chains and water pump on my 2000 dodge 2.7 and now I'm not getting fuel if I spray some gas in the air intake it will try to fire so I’m getting spark. Not sure what to do next wish it had a carb any Ideas. Thank You

Check yoru fuses underhood first then recheck yoru work for a connector not connected. Then check fuel pressure. It may have just happened.
