I don’t know if this question would be better in the general or electric forum, but here goes. I have finally got the engine temp gauge to work, but I think it is reading incorrectly. At idle with the engine warm, it reads about in the middle of the gauge ( does the middle mark correspond to 180F?); as I build up speed and RPM the gauge climbs up to the top right away. As soon as the RPM drops, the gauge goes back to around the middle. It seems to be following the AMP gauge as both needles seem to move together. I have no issues with boil over, so I do not think it is actually getting that hot. Has anyone seen this before? Is it an issue with my voltage regulator maybe? I have not been able yet to monitor the voltage while driving so I do not know what is happening there. I finished a complete rewire about 8 months ago, and replaced the temp sender. When I was troubleshooting the inop temp gauge, I tried swapping out with a gauge from a 59 pickup, but that did nothing (and I cannot recall off hand if the 59 or the original gauge is back installed).
Thanks, Lee.
