OK, here you go. If you don't mind having a dead gauge in the cluster, then just teflon tape the new sender that came with the gauge and unscrew the first temp sender on the water neck where the thermostat is at.(I believe it's the first sender, since there are two) Run a wire from the sender to the back of the gauge and wire it like you wire all the rest of them(with keyed 12volts and a ground) Bam you're done. Now if you still want a functional gauge in the cluster, drive to the hardware store and get a T and a short Male-male extension from the brass fitting section. I can't remember what size, but bring the sender and it's all the same. Teflon those up, and screw the OEM sender into one side of the T and the new gauge sender on the other side. Take the male-male extension and screw it into the last hole of the T and the OEM hole of the water neck. Feel free to ask questions and I'll help with what I can. What brand gauge did you buy, b/c I did this w/ my Autometer.
