It seems to be getting hot to the touch and just barely registers a temp change after the engine is warmed up. I haven't checked a thing yet, but thought I would ask for input. Thanks all...is it Friday yet? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif)

That sounds like a typical gauge/sender mismatch (or a failing sender or gauge).
The gauges/senders were for the most part matched. I know between 1973 and 1974, they changed gauges (moved the red mark to give the needle a broader swing before it got to the red area), and they also changed senders. The 1974 had more range (the needle moved more for a given temp). I think the real change was the sender. On another note, I briefly had 2 gauges wired to the same sending unit and both gauges displayed almost exactly 1/2 what they should have. |
