I ran into this issue. I put an 85 engine into a 92 car which had the later instrument panel.
I hooked up the temp sender (small mushroom contact) and I thought it worked. The needle however went up into the red while the engine was warming up. i.e. it was a mismatched sender.
I finally got the right 2 wire sender (big thing) and installed it into the cold start hose with a fitting as there was no way it would fit behind the power steering/ a/c bracket.
Now everything works fine. You have to have the sender that matches the instrument panel !!
I think you must have the later instrument panel. Is it rectangular or does it have the upper corners rounded off?
If you look at my pics in the photosection, on the panel and engine pics you will see what I described.
I will look for the later sender part number.
