With a lot of help from JMJLambert and Vette vet, finally got the temp gauge wired correctly as stock. I should also thank a1971blaser for making this all happen as he was the one who turned down the sensor to 3/8" with speedy turn around time and AAwire for the factory kit, for the connectors.

hardest part was fishing green wire thru the factory type shielding, spent a hour on that

I know its not the right way(makes wire brittle), but wasn't happy with my crimp, so I put a SMALL dab of solder on the crimp

fed the wire thru intake as Lambert suggested, makes for a clean installation

still have to run a couple more heat cycles before I lock the tabs down on my exhaust manifold

You can slip on the plastic cover after you make your wire crimp

If anyone has to do this repair I have an extra sensor and connecter and shielding to make repair, free except shipping charge
