Default "help" with oil temp gauge

I have a 79 and I bought the small gauge console for a 82 with the
oil gauge temp in place of the clock. I am trying to install it and I do not know where to plug what. There is three terminals in the back and I just can tell where to plug what...
Please Help

I added the oil temp. gauge when it came out. I have posted the wiring several times & now only find: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c3-t...emp-gauge.html
"BTW, Ganey knows how to wire these units. Give him a Forum shout."

Probably I wired it like the water temp., got + & - from another gauge like volt. & ran a wire to the sender.

I got that part figured out, I am running + from fuse box and - from the body of the car pllus the cable to the sending unit. But I do not know where to plug each into the gauge.
Thank You for the advise
