I have an 87 truck with the 22RE and the stock carb. Temp gauge worked fine before I did a full rebuild on the motor. Put it all back together and now as soon as you turn the key on it pegs out on the Hot side of the gauge. I noticed there are 2 sending units for the temp. One on top of the intake and one in the head. While installing a mechanical gauge in the factory plugged hold in the intake I noticed there was only one strand of wire holding the intake sending unit connector plug to the harness. Then of course it broke. I tried grounding the broken wire to see if that made effected the gauge any but no luck.
I am thinking this sensor/gauge problem may be causing a problem with my stock carbs functions also. Seems to not operate properly when its cold outside.
Any info would be much appreciated!!
