Default sensor that goes on drivers head?

Theres a sensor at the front of my drivers side head i think its the temperature sensor and I have no idea what fuse hooks up to it i tried all the ones that ive seen and they dont work. I just swapped in a brand new motor with new heads and centerbotl valve covers because I had a 98 motor. Is there anything I need to switch since I have centerbolt valve covers and what fuse hooks up to the sensor??

nothing that i know of...i would think you would just thread the old temp sensor into the new head & hook the connector to it and be done?

you have to get the sensor for your year model wire harness. I believe the temp sensor on 98's was a 2 prong and 99 and up were 3 prong or vise versa. Thats the differance, you have to go buy a new temp sensor.
