hi sages- sure many of you have dealt with this. 92 245 heat works fast and fine, but temp gage on dash is uneven . sometimes needle goes to the middle and most times it just moves slightly from bottom. no evidence of overheating and coolant level ok. common reaction to replace stat was not taken since heating and running good. dealers and indies as expected tried to supercharge me (300- 600) to correct. figuring problem likely is bad coolant temp sensor plug which screws into block or head and is wired to dash gage. rock auto shows a few for $15 or so. have replaced a few of these on fords and dodges of yesteryear and solved issue. where is this bad boy located on the 245 engine and what do you think. bet arty b and kitty g has done this job plenty of times since the war. thanks tons oldduke
