When I first start my Spitfire Mk1 the temperature gauge needle 
quivers like crazy.  After the engine starts getting hotter the 
needle settles down and seems to perform ok.  Has anyone seen 
anything like this before?  I do know the charging system is not yet 
up to snuff and the voltage is typically somewhere around 12.7 volts. 
Could this be the problem, or could it be a bad voltage stabilizer.  
I would think if it was the voltage stabilizer then the needle would 
not stop quivering.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

TIA
