Subject:Temp Gauge Out, Heat Blasting

Hi all,
My 86 Syncro is blasting hot air, even when the levers are over to
the coldest setting. and the temp gauge isn't working, so I cannot
tell if its running hotter than normal.
Not so cool yesterday on a 2 hour trip in 95 degree heat with no AC!
My shins are roasted...
any connection between these 2 factors (heat on and gauge off)?
Do I need a new thermostat to cut the heat off?
Any ideas you all have would be welcome. Thanks.
