[Tigers] Temp Gauge Reading High?

Listers -
I've been troubleshooting what I thought was a hot-running motor. It's
mid-summer in the mid-Atlantic, and I have a triple-black Tiger, so not the
ideal scenario to run cool. The car's been running between 210 and 220 at
50 mph on level roads. It doesn't get a lot of miles, so I thought the
radiator might need a flush. I changed the thermostat (180deg) at the same
time. Same temps. I pulled out an infrared thermometer and with the car
idling, the temp gauge was indicating ~ 215 while the infrared thermometer
was reading 183 when pointed at the water outlet and F4B manifold. I
ordered a new temp sending unit from Rick - any other suggestions?
Thanks as always,
Graham Harlowe
