    I believe it is a 180.
    Maybe I'm wrong but you meat your sending unit is between 1 and3 right. and seperatly you have a 180 stat? did your wire from the sending unit touch the header and melt the insulation?

    No , however the original path of the sensor wiring was behind the engine then back up and around on the drivers side. I cut that wire off short and run it right in front of the brake power booster. Practically a straight shot to the sensor.

    I mentioned earlier I was seriously considering mech Gauges. Are they difficult to install? What are the best connection components?
    What do I do about the Oil light? :
