I picked up a Temp sensor for a 1998 3800SC motor for my 4.9 build is this the correct Temp sensor?

2 wire or 3 wire? Yes the CTS portion of the sensor will work electrically. You might have to change the connector and/or wiring to make it work on your engine.

Is this for your PCM, or the dash gauge?

Or both? A 3 wire CTS/Temperature Gauge Sender will do both CTS (ECM/PCM) functions and Temperature Gauge Sender Functions.

The two outside pins wire to the ECM. The center pin wires to the TEMP gauge.
