Stan, Thanks for your input. I pretty much figured I would start with the Throttle Position Sensor and work from there. You are validating the thought. My...

With all that you've done, if everything seems normal, yet the gauge reads hot, then I would suspect a bad gauge. Buy one of those cheap combo water temp...
Stan Thanks for the advise Its kinda funny I was thinking that the gauge might be my problem. I guess sometimes its easy over look the obvious. Ill give this...
One thing I've heard is the aftermarket temperature sending units don't read the same as the genuine Ford units. A few people I know with 60s Mustangs noticed...

I've never had this problem, but if the gauge is easily swapped out, you could maybe buy a new one and try it. Something else I thought of is the effect of...
