73 Dodge Charger SE Temp gauge wiring diagram.

Hi, my temp gauge isn't working and i'm trying to correct that.  I have the wire that I believe is correct for the temp sender.  It is in a small loom with a wire that has a female connector on it.  I don't remember the color of the wire.  Can somebody give me or tell me a diagram for the temp gauge/sender.  It had a 318 in it if that is any help.
Thanks,
Eric

its simply a violet wire with a 90° bullet kind rubber plug going from engine sender on water pump housing straight up to the gauge, nothing more nothing less than that.

Mostly sure the engine end is discolorated making it look kinda greysh or yellowish

Ok, I figured as much just wanted to make sure.  The sender is in the intake manifold on mine.  Whether that's wrong, right, or indifferent i'm not sure.  I'm going to replace the sender anyways since it's only like 7 bucks.  I will check everything out this weekend.

ground the violet wire to chassis and gauge must moves fast to HOT...

Ok I got it pegged.  Checked connections at the back of the dash, good.  Found the violet wire coming through the firewall chased it a little and looked for any loose wires hanging in the engine bay, nothing.  Cut the purple wire and grounded it gauge started to move.  Ran my own wire to the temp sender and everything works as it should 
Thanks a lot guys!
