Ok, I'm just finishing up my s5 swap into my 87 TII, and the guage readings seem a bit off compared to my 87 n/a, just wondering if its something to worry about. after running the car for about 10-15 minutes at idle, the temp guage makes it only about 1/5-1/4 up the "normal operating temp range", and this is with no cooling fan. my n/a would damn near be overheating if i did that. if i turn on my e-fan and the heater, the needle hovers just barely at the first notch. I do have a fluidyne radiator and no hood at the moment, but does this seem right? don't want to nuke the block getting it hotter than it says it is. I am using the S5 temp sender, because they couldn't be swapped, if that matters. and if i ground the temp sense wire, the guage does show a full hot reading.

next, oil pressure... after a 10 min idleing period, my oil pressure sits at about 80 PSI, and goes up to 90-100 if i rev it...this seems high, don't know what would cause high pressure, everything ive found only talks about low pressure problems...

Sorry to make this post longer, but i still have no trailing spark, tried all the quick fixes you guys recommend, no go. any new insight? i have a e-bay coil pack on the way, hopefully that will do it, but im not convinced because the one out of my n/a didnt make spark either. also tried n/a ecu, no spark. i do get the trailing coil code, and also if i unbolt(unground) the coil, my tach works again! help please!
