Rob,

The simultaneous immersion of the operating (and grounded) temp sender/voltage
regulator/gauge system versus a standard IS the best method.  It's an end-to-end
test, so it won't isolate the problem alone, but it will tell you if you have
one.  A hot plate and some jumber wires to the pot of water with the 
car-grounded
sender, tip immersed in water along with thermometer, IS the best way.

Steve

BTW:  That regulator is often the culprit.  They are cheap enough to just
replace, if you are suspicious.
