Hi all, me again:
As I continue to get The Big Red Sled ready for his trip to the
transmission shop (this car does NOT like reverse gear -- I have read it before
here on the list and at the Forward Look list -- all gears but reverse work fine
--what is up with this?), to have the transmission worked on, I have gotten the
car running a couple of times, after performing a basic tune up (need to do the
points/condenser & check the timing), doing the brake work, replacing the
fuel pump, cleaning up the fuel tank, etc.
I am curious about one thing (well, one thing at the moment). The
other day while at idle and after idling for about 15 minutes, I noticed that
the temperature gauge on the dash was not working. The fuel gauge was
fine, the alternator/generator gauge was fine, the oil pressure gauge was
fine; the temperature gauge was pegged at "C." So, curious, I opened
up the heater all the way and the air was very toasty.
So, my questions are these: 1) Could the problem be the
thermostat? 2) If not thermostat, could the problem be some sort of
sending unit to the gauge? 3) If not a sending unit, could the gauge be
funky?
Any suggestions on how to run this problem down?
Thanks everyone!!!
