There is also the voltage stabilizer - if not properly grounded or not working
right, it will cause the temp gauge to run high. However, the fuel gauge would
also be similarly affected if this is the case.

Subject: [Mgs] Temp Gauge Reading High
Hello Listers;
A recent post discussed the issue of overheating, and this "jogged" my memory
about a particular issue my '74 MGB-GT is having. The temp gauge
consistently
reads high. At normal running the needle is just below the "hot" region.
I've looked into this and the car is not overheating. I've measured the
temperature of the coolant and it doesn't rise above 180 F.
I've tried a different gauge and it still does this. Also, I replaced the
sender unit and this doesn't help the problem either.
Any ideas? My guess it must be in the wiring somewhere....???
Thanks,
Matt Milkevitch
