there's two on the block, both two prong. one in front is a blue plastic plug. one behind it is two bare terminals.

thanks
Howdy..

The DME Temp Sensor is the Blue sensor closer to the front of the engine..

The Guage Temp Sensor is about 7 inches further aft ( back toward firewall) and sits well underneath the intake runners.

FWIW, I just confirmed the accuracy of my Guage Sensor with an infrared Temp Gun this weekend.
Amazing that after 26 years, the factory sensor is dead on...
