I talked to Doug this morning. He has built cars with the same gauges I have and did not use a 10V power converter, he just hooked them up the regular way and everything worked fine. Doug said to ground the sensor wire and see if the gauge pegs, which I had already done (and it pegged). This indicates the gauge is working ok.

Doug advised that I need to let it run for 15 minutes before I will see any indication of temperature on the gauge. He also said that since I have a heater in the car there will no be an air pocket around the sensor.

I will start and run the car longer and see what happens. I have a laser thermometer that I can check the temperature with as it warms up. I'll report back after I do all this.
