Is it a probe, or a wire that needs to be connected to a sending unit?

You can buy a thermostat housing that already has a plug in it.

Too bad you didn't get the kind that mounts between the radiator fins.

The thermo housing I just told you about.
BTW, nice sig but you'll have to trim it to 500x250. It's just a lil too big.
