How do I wire my temp gauge??

So my temp gauge is really off in my 84 z28 (carbed engine) and I was thinking of going to Autozone and buying one of there $20 temp gauges but I am not to sure to which wires Ide have to tap into to get the right temperature readings. Ive wired a tachometer in the car before is it similar?thanks!

Mech or Elec gauge?
If elec , does it use stock GM temp sender ,
does it require it's own special sender ,( need to install in the head)
does sender come with the gauge ( often not )

Only a matter of running a wire from the sender to the gauge and then hooking up 12V and a ground
