There should be a wire from the sender to the gauge. The sender also needs to be grounded.

Either with a bracket holding it to the firewall, or sometimes it can get grounded through the stainless braided line to the engine block.

You did hook up the other wires on the gauge, right?

Have fun when the sender snaps off the block and your engine's oil empties onto the road.
