If memory serves, the one closest to the front of the engine feeds information to the temp gauge on the instrument cluster, the one right behind it feeds temp informaiton to the DME.
They both read the temp directly from the coolant, right before it is returned to the radiator

Au contraire, The little brass single pole (looks like a miniture radiator fan unit!) does not contact any coolant! It's a blind hole tapped 1/8 FPT. Has a slip on connector like the instrument wiring. This sensor is furthest from the timing belt cover.
The other sensor, about 2" overall length does contact the coolant and does have the same connector type as the rest of the DME harness.
Now on the 86 engine there were (engine fire) two sensors with the DME type square connectors. One into the coolant and one into the oil galley. The furthest away from the timing covers is located where the little brass one is on the 83 AND the hole is bored through to the oil galley. There are two bosses here side by side. I've blind drilled and tapped the second 1/8 FPT and screwed the little brass sensor in. Left the melted one in the oil galley.
Puzzling...
