The temp gauge above my fuel gauge isn't working. For the life of me I cannot find any mention of it in the Haynes manual I have or even in the owners manual. Where's the sending unit for this thing? 74 2.0

Get a new sending unit for the taco plate and put a new wire back to the gauge. I sent my gauge to North Hollywood Speedometer and had them put numerials on it and with a new sending unit works great! Now I actually know the temp!

I like that idea - spend time making it work rather then tracking what's broken!
