Joel, I would think it might be a good idea, but I would like top suggest one other possibility. My '82 temperature and fuel guage read too high all the time. Ran outa gas and found out the hard way. I also did the thermostadt- with no effect on the operating temp. Some one suggested the voltage stabilizer for the dash might be out of specs and producing too much/little voltage. It is a Transistor looking thing mounted by the clock on the back of the guage pod. Voltage should be approx 10 volts between positive connection 1 and ground 2. (PG 90.18 of my bently manual) And my other suggestion is to use a oem style thermostadt. I've tried others and they just don't work well. Poor heater output- etc. Joel- Wisconsin Joel Shortlidge wrote: > My Syncro has run a little hot (half way between the LED and the HOT > zone even in winter).
