[Shotimes] Thermostats and Temp Sensors

[John Weidenbenner]

After doing what Paul suggested twice over the years and replacing the
radiator my 93 temp gauge still reads OR +/-. I am convinced that the gauge
itself is the cause of my high readings.

My cooling fan seems to be cycling at the right temps. I checked that once
with an IR temperature gauge.
