Default ground from thermostat housing?

Is there a ground on the thermostat housing on my car ( 91 Civic Si ) d16a6?
My speedo and tripometer aren't working. My temp is reading Hot all the time, even when motor is cold. When you rev past 4k rpm it goes down to cold. Alot of people have told me that the problem is a ground. A buddy of mine said one loose ground can make your instrument cluster do some weird stuff. Does anyone have a picture of the ground or a wiring diagram! This would help dramatically. Thanks
