Tomorrow came early.

Are you sure that other slip on boot isnt for your oil presure sensor?
Anyway, the sensor you have there is typically for a needle guage.  My dash is full digital and the sender is a two wire.
Here is what i have...

i have an 88 with the norm cluster and it has the same sender as my new one with the digilt cluster but i see that it has to have a kind of pluge i dont have on my car so im trying to find out where it runs so i can get it to work. but i think i know what i need to do now. just have to go get the sender and the plug and wire them up and it should work.

Alright in your picture with the two wires, the one that comes through the motor pull bracket is not  one that connects to the sender. In my 87 5.0 the shorter one that comes from under the plemun is what connects to it.
Where does the wire going through the motor pull bracket connect to on the other end?

oh okay. another thunderbird i hope. I was searching through looking to find out why my temp gauge is pegged adn the car is cold. Thought i might be able to help.

My advice is to take a lot of pictures so you have them when you reassemble in the next car and bag and tag bolts/parts. Just my advice, I was glad I did.
