For a 1990+, The signal wire off the O2 sensor harness will go to either the red wire w/ a black stripe for the left side and the right side uses a gray wire w/ light blue stripe.

The "sender" not sensor is needed for an Autometer temp gauge...The sender is a one wire brass fitting on the lower intake manifold....

As for power, I always went to my fuse box and chose the window defrost or something that wouldn't matter too much if I blew a fuse...For example you wouldn't want to use the electric fan fuse, because if that blew you'd over heat...

I'm sure you'll figure it out...There are some helpful tips on the Autometer web-site and other places on the web...
