The pin is called a "jiggle" pin. It's there to allow the system to bleed off any air pockets that might be sitting above the level of the port on the T stat. The pin should always be pointing towards the top of the engine.

If it is the 4cly you need to remove your intake, unbolt the thermostat housing from the side of the block (it will be the one with the radiator hose going to it) pull the thermostat out. When replacing with a new thermostat MAKE SURE YOU INSTALL IT WITH THE JIGGLE PIN FACING UP!!!! I repeat JIGGLE PIN FACING UP. Burp the radiator system well and your done. Good Luck
