Broken temp sender.

In the process of diagnosing the hard start on my '96, the temp sender was broken. The connector pulled apart, but seemed to slide back together just fine. I couldn't find it oem, so got one off ebay. Now the gauge isn't working. Any ideas on where to get an oem sender, and the connector? Or should I just install a mechanical gauge? Is there any reason not to install a mechanical gauge? BTW, the hard start was from the sender in the fuel tank.

Fuel sender or a temp sender and wire, just let me know. I am sure I can come up with some options.

Oddly, I just sent you an email, but it's the temp sender, and wire if you have them. It's a 1996. Thank you.
