Non-working Temp gauge.. :(

[Daniel Neuman <dneuman@stars.sfsu.edu>]

Hello All,
        My temp gauge is not working withthe new engine???
I have replaced theh under dash voltge regultor. The gas gauge is rock solid
steady.  I have grounded the outside of the temp sending unit houseing. I 
cut back the sender wire to clean untarnished copper and spliced in a 
new lead to the sending unit.  But still the gauge does not work.. Not such 
a good thing on a car with a new-to-me engine.
        What did I miss any ideas??? Does this mean I have to buy a new 
sending unit?? Man, how much are those??
