lol i kind of did the same thing. i was like what sensor
but there are a couple different types of temp sender units that one "1" pin and one for a pig tail "2" pin

but if you go to autozone not sure about advace they will sell you the one i pictured it should come with the pigtail to sire it into your "1" pin

don't confuse sensors with sending units..... Typically a sending unit relays direct information to the instrument panel cluster where as sensors relay information to the computer to process. Example:

Coolant temp sensor is used for fuel calibration primarily in open loop.

coolant temp sending unit is used only for the gauge.
