Temp gauge shooting up! 200 1984

Here's the latest - my temperature gauge seems to shoot up almost to red within seconds of starting the car. While driving it fluctuates pretty dramatically, and heats up faster than I believe it possibly could (30 seconds from cold to redline)... with full oil and coolant. It seems that it almost has to be electrical - anyone tried patching a wire in? I presume that increasing temperature yields decreasing resistance to ground (grounded wire = hot gauge)?
Thanks much!
-Alex
