Default oil sending unit question

Ok heres my dilemma: I've got a 89 360 that I put into my 72 demon. I wanted to use the original gauges but i ran into a problem with the oil sending unit (with light). Back in 72 they are 1 terminal units. No problem i thought (since i figured there were virtually no changes between small blocks until 92). Well i guess sometime over the years they changed the threads on the sending units from coarse to fine; so I couldnt use a 1 terminal from an older engine. So I had to grab a 2 terminal w/light for a 89 truck. Now I had to go to the junkyard and get the right harness. Heres where I am having trouble. The harness I got has 2 wires coming out of it; 1 gray and the other gray with a yellow stripe. Which one do I want to splice into my original oil light gauge wire? Does the other wire go to a power source? Im not sure if this is the right forum but I figured you truck enthusiasts would know better which wire is which. Thanks.

You could just use an adapter or tap the correct threads into the block.
