[Tigers] How hot is hot ?

[Tiger Man]

If you can, borrow someone's infrared (sometimes called laser) temp gauge, 
and point it at something like the brass of the temp sender unit.  You may 
find that your temp gauge is off by 10-20 degrees.  Mine reads about 210, 
where the infrared thermometer tells me it really is 195 at the sending 
unit.

If that is the problem, I believe there are a couple articles about how to 
build a solid state voltage regulator for your gauges that will make them 
more accurate
