Temp gauge problem
Hello to all the forum members. I have a 70 350 350 and my temp gauge started going crazy. Motor will run around 200 -220 and then the temp gauge will peg 250+. Is this a short, temp gauge or sender unit problem? I checked the wire to the sender unit and it is attached and tight on the post. I just got the car back on the road after a long rear suspension project started over the winter.
Many Thanks
Jeff

220 degrees = 70 ohms
200 degrees = 90 ohms
180 degrees = 115 ohms
160 degrees = 140 ohms
120 degrees = 250 ohms
100 degrees = 340 ohms
