[Mgs] Temp Gauge Reading High

Hello Listers;

A recent post discussed the issue of overheating, and this "jogged" my memory
about a particular issue my '74 MGB-GT is having.  The temp gauge consistently
reads high.  At normal running the needle is just below the "hot" region. 
I've looked into this and the car is not overheating.  I've measured the
temperature of the coolant and it doesn't rise above 180 F. 

I've tried a different gauge and it still does this.  Also, I replaced the
sender unit and this doesn't help the problem either.

Any ideas?  My guess it must be in the wiring somewhere....???

Thanks,
