TEMP GAUGE WIRES

What color are the wires coming from the sending unit in the head.When I bought the car it had a cheepo sunpro temp gauge(mechanical)mounted below the dash.I replaced it with a automeeter and moved it to the a pillar.I would like to find out which wires they are.I have a known working temp gauge out of another cluster I`d like to use.Ijust need to know which wires to connect it to.I found a weather pack with 2 wires.A brown and a blue with white stripe cut after the weather pack.Also found a 4 wire connecter also with nothing plugged into it.I`ve searched and looked in the haynes/chilton and cant seem to find it in the wiring diagrams.
