Temperature gauge

[glen]

I think the temperature gauge in the Daytona, went south
sometime, permanetly, at somepoint. Either that or it is
the coldest running car, I have ever had! What is the best
way to check or what would you check 1st?. I am also a little
wary of the gasoline, but the oil and amp, seem to be fine!

I see Sudebaker Intl sales them for $65.00 a pop or are there
any other sources and should I replace all 4 to be safe?, if
I find there isn't a connection issue.

Thanks....I am not a mechanic...but would like to know how to
"root" things out.[8D]

Glen,

Probably the simplest thing is to use a kitchen type thermometer to check on the temperature once it is in the normal operating range. I would suspect thet your car has a termostat in the 170-180 degree range. At leat you will know what temperature range your car is running.

Once you have immersed the thermometer in the anti-freeze, DO NOT return it to the kitchen inventory. Just buy your wife a new one.

Next, suspect your sending unit before you look at the gauge. Then suspect your wiring..... Always look at the least expensive things first.
