I take it that the external gauge is doing the same thing as the cluster gauge? Don't hate me for asking but which way did you install the T-stat, spring up or down?

Did you attach the gauge to the top sending unit. I mean right off the top of the sending unit, not further down the line?

well the only reason (at these what I can think of) that it would be the head is that something is clogging it up, especially near the temp sender. I am running out of ideas.

i'm thinking it might be the head gasket too because i have had coolant in my oil before. i think i was just hoping that it was all this other stuff so i didn't have to do the head gasket you know. but o well now i have a reson to put preformance **** on it. but i need it to last till it starts to warm up outside

well that doesnt really make sense, because u said when ever u hit the dash the needle would move, so that would mean a loose connection or messed up guage. im confused now ha ha

dude i have been confused for along time. but yeah i think that gauge was going bad too or something. cause now this new gauge doesn't move when i hit the dash but now it doesn't fluxuat as much any more. the highest it goes it about 220 to 225. so i don't know anymore.
