The temp sensor on the t-stat housing is for the fan. The one for the gauge is on the drivers side of the head toward the firewall, at least on my '90 not 100% sure if that's where yours is.

On a 97 there isn't a sender on the head.

Bingo. 97+ the engine and gauge sensor are the same and the sensor is in the t-stat housing.
