There is a single wire sensor coming off the side of the head. Look there you probably bumped it or removed it and forgot to put it back on. Either way if it's broke it is a Temperature Sending Unit.

Is it the one that is right under the distributor? if it is, mine shows two wires. the only single that i seen is the one that is on top of the valve cover thats for ground.

The sensor he is referring to is right next to that two wire sensor. It is more torwards the radiator in between the two wire sensor (ECT) and the upper radiator hose.
