coolant temperature sensor help please

Hi, I swapped a 350 into my 1986 firebird and I've ran into a problem. It's an older 350 (010 block). and the temperature sensors seem to be different between the 1986 car and the 350 engine.

The 350 sensor looks like this: http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/web...S_575824842___

and here is the 1986 version: http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/web...S_575716498___

The threads and the connections are different and I don't know what to do. Can anyone help me?
