And from the pic of the interior gauge, you can see they also had a radio mounted under the dash also. So I took that out and installed a Custom Auto Sound in place of the stock radio. So I’m thinking they added that radio because the stock one didn’t work anymore. But after just doing the temp sensor, I went ahead and hooked the stock radios wires back up, and the stock radio did work! But I went ahead and installed the Custom Auto Sound unit, since I already had it all unpacked, ready to install.

Thank you. I can't quite get the remains of the fitting to budge yet. I hit it with some PB Blast and am trying gently with an EZ Out. I also found the live wire that goes to the old temp sender and am hoping that my factory gauge works once I install the new sender.
I also have an aftermarket oil pressure sender that I am going to replace. I can't find that wire though. I heard it's a tan wire.
