<snip> I've noticed the temp gauge is really sensitive to corrosion on
the connectors, too -- corrosion makes it read low. <snip>

On my '84 (with big clock), after cleaning all the connections, grounds,
etc. my gauge went from just below the LED (cool side) to just above the
LED at normal temperature.  This was quite some time ago.

My '85 (with tach), normal is showing on the cool side about a needle's
width from the edge of the "Cold" mark.
