The coolant sensor on the TPI (and TBI if I'm not mistaken) intake manifold is for the ECM. Most had a yellow & a black wire with a weatherpack connector.
Unscrew the old one,, screw in the new.. it's failry straightforward. Most new sensors come with a sealer on the threads as well so don't wrap teflon tape around it because it will 'insulate' it causing a 'false' (usually low) reading.

MCamaro is right tho.. there are specific forums for this question.
