Steve,
I will be interested in your AC details.
On the gauge problem: Check your under dash voltage regulator.
The temperature reading on the gage is controlled by
the voltage as well as the resistance of the sender.
This voltage also impacts the fuel gauge reading.
The voltage regulator is very crude in that it gates
the 12 volts on and off at a relatively slow rate to
provide a lower average voltage. Possible that you
simply have a bad ground on the voltage regulator and
are getting the full battry voltage.
An electronic voltage regulator has been
by some one on this mail list. Do not have his name.
