You need to install a temp sender and wire it up to the gauge, there are threads regarding the placement of the sender around if you search.

The stock temp sender may or may not be calibrated correctly for your particular gauge. Its recommended to use the sender that comes with your new gauge.

In place of the stock sender would be a good start.
