So, when taking everything out of the engine bay this fall for the
rebuild I knackered my capillary tube for the water temp sender. I have
gotten one for free that I can cannibalize (broken glass, needles took a
slight knock) So I straightened out the needles and gave it the hot
water test. with a full boil I only got the needle to 'just' after 'N'.
This does not seem far enough for a rolling boil on the stove. Am I
right that this is toast or needs further work or is there something
about water, physics, and the gauge I do not understand.
