Well my '68 B kept overheating and leaving CO in the radiator. I kept
changing the head gasket then it would blow. So I changed the head bolts.
The temp gague still slowly went t Hot as I drove. In disgust I pulled out
another engine block and had it machined. I figured the old block was
cracked. Built a new engine. Aprox. $1400.00 later the gague would still
slowly creep to HOT! I checked the gague again and it was fine. Finally a
tried a voltage stabilizer out of my junk box and the gague read NORMAL from
then on.
The moral of this story is.... Don't assume anything!!! I had a nice
new engine but...
