Ditching the beehive made a big difference in the temp gauge on my '83. That setup really sucks, as it runs hot water thru the oil (heater) cooler, then dumps it into the lower radiator hose, to re-enter the engine without making a trip thru the radiator........

Well, after 4 hours and a new set of easy-outs, I finally got the old one out. I installed a new sending unit and it works great. Thanks for all of your help.
