To the left... so it is pegged hot or pegged cold?


If you
remove the coolant wire from the engine, the needle should be pegged
cold.  If you touch the wire to ground the needle should be pegged
hot.  A 200ohm resistor between the wire and ground should result in
a "warm" engine.


I would do that test before swapping
gauges.
