Water Temp sensor on a 250/wiring diagram?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hello all! Haven't posted in a while. I need to ask all of you, how do I wire in an aftermarket water temp gauge? The sender is on the side of the block. The original connection for the dummy light (I'm assuming, my truck has the basic gauge package, speedo and fuel) is broken off/fried. Actually, basically every connection on the end of the harness is fried (anyone have a good wiring diagram I can look at?). Anywho, on the sender, there are two exposed prongs. I'm assuming the signal wire attaches to one, and the ground to the other?

Also, did I torque the flywheel and pressure plate bolts tight enough? Flywheel is at 65 ft-lbs, pressure plate bolts are 35 ft-lbs.

Thanks everyone!
