 Dave, how does this compare to the way the gauge reads when installed in the
car? I can't help but wonder if your sender is bad, which is a reasonably
common problem.

Tonight I did a quick test of the temperature guage with a cup of hot water
and a digital themometer. At 170 F water temp. the guage was about 1/4 of the
way across the movement. Seems kind of low to me. I will try it again
tomorrow
night just to make sure I can rule out the guage. It's starting to look like
I
need to remove the radiator and take it back to the shop.
