The round button plug is the water temp sender, it goes between #1 & #3 spark plug.
The two spade sender is for the TCS (Transmission Controlled Spark), it went between #6 & #8 spark plug but you can leave that one off. PG.

For the temp sender, look around the alternator wiring harness for a long wire that has a "plug" on it. Some temp senders are mounted in the head between the #1 and #3 spark plugs, and some are mounted in the intake manifold next to the thermostat housing.
