Well by this:
http://www.glowshift.com/instruction...structions.pdf I can tell there are 4 wires, not 3. And those 4 wires explain themselves in that web.

no not at all, it worked great .may just want to put some thread lock on the plate so it don't come loose every time you change your oil.

silly question.

But your refering to the side that screws into the block correct? If so, any thread locker in particular?

Also what oil filter are you using with that glowshift plate?
