Interesting thought.  One known electrical issue that I've got is my
alternator seems to have an unsteady output past about 4k RPMs.  It
seems to swing between ~13-15 volts in an AC like fashion.. wonder if
the capacitor on the back is flaky?

I may end up putting in a separate gauge to double check my temps.

Later
