Wiring/Gauge Problems/Questions - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a 305 out of an 86 caprice in my truck. The previous owner had no gauges hooked up except the fuel on the old motor (yea no speedo hooked up either, I got that hooked up now). I only have a small idea of where to hook them up. There is a prong on the front of the motor on the right side. Then there is one with two prongs on the right side toward the back of the motor. The problem is I only Have four wires. Here are the colors: brown and white, dark blue, black and a large pink one. I would like to atleast get my temp gauge working. I have looked at 2 different wiring diagrams and I dont understand them. Which wires do I hook up where?
