I have been having overheating problems. My dash temp gauge runs backward. When engine is off the gauge starts at hot and as the engine warms up it goes to cool. I think I wired it per harness diagram. While idling the guage eventually pegs out on the left side (cool) I used my temp sensor gun and the block temp reads is at about 175 . How hot should the block be?
Thanks, Mike
