Default Question... water temp gauge -- sensor install >>
Just checking... will this work, screwing into the adaptor, and then connect the wires to my gauge?

If so, then why does this look different?

Through the adapter body, but it looks like it's bolted to metal? Regardless, if your sensor has a Hot and Ground lead you should be good to go..

Default So...
If I do what's in pic #1, then am I right that the black ground wire is grounded since the adaptor is bolted in like this?

Depends on what your Gauge wiring diagram shows you as to whether it can be done at the adapter block, or run back to the gauge......
