Heres another way to hook up your coolant temp sensor to make your gauge work. I'd like to give thanks to my neighbor Chris for helping me with the wiring. If you are trying to avoid buying the stupid adapters (that are always the wrong size) for your coolant temp sensor, Buy the following:
(1) Coolant temp sensor for a 98 FIREBIRD (NOT THE CAMARO, THEY ARE DIFFERENT) with the v8 ls1. MAKE SURE IT IS THE 3 PRONG SENSOR! Its only 8 bucks.
(1) Coolant temp sensor PIG TAIL CONNECTOR for a 98 camaro v8 ls1. AGAIN MAKE SURE IT IS THE 3 PRONG.
then all you do is screw the sensor into your motor, cut your old 2 wire connector off (yellow and black wires) and attach the new connector that you just bought. And yes you will have one extra wire, thats what you hook your gauge up to, IF it was the old 1 wire style like mine.
