I would say you have the wrong temp sender. Make it easy on yourself and get the right one. Try the stock one and see if it works.

I believe the factory one does work however the gauge is totally busted and useless, I also have elec. fans that I have to turn on manually so that's why I'm wanting to go with a mech. gauge plus it will give me accurate actual numbers

So what you are saying is that the hole is to small? When I did this on the 454 IN my truck I used one of the drain plugs on the side of the block. you might want to try that.
