This is just a guess but here's what happened on our '78 B. After a long
drive on a hot day the temp gauge started reading high. The t-stat was good,
the cooling system was recently flushed and no leaks.
A few days later I just happened to be working under/behind the dash and
noticed the voltage stabilizer attached to the firewall. The mounting screw
was loose. I cleaned the mounting surface and re-attached it nice and snug.
Temp gauge readings returned to normal!
