Buy an adaptor. Its like a bit of pipe that the sender screws into and then this pipe goes on the top radiator hose (cut the hose in half and replace it with a section of pipe) You could also go to a radiator shop and they could make on up.

if your desperate, i had mine temporarily hooked up to the factory sender, it read about 100deg running temp, and with the speco sender around 80deg, just to give you an idea how much it will be out.
