Coolant temp sensors?

My coolant temp gauge isn't registering properly - I'm pretty sure the
sender being broken has something to do with it. Here's my problem:
there are two coolant temp senders in the manifold; a one-wire sender
and a two-wire sender. (This is a 94 5.2 mag engine.) The only
replacement that the auto parts places come up with is for the
two-wire sender. This one sticks deeper into the hole. Does anyone
know how to get the one-wire sender? (I assume this is the guage
sender.)

Mine literally broke - the wire connector broke off the sensor. It's
got a spade connector that sticks down into the sender shaft. I tried
to stick it back together with some epoxy, and now instead of not
registering the gauge at all, it uses about 1/8 of the swing it
should.

Thanks for any help!
