I checked my gauge by running a wire from the thermister terminal on the back of the gauge 
through an instrument panel bulb (#1445) to ground. On my car this gives a fixed reading of 
slightly higher than 500 degrees. About one needle width higher actually. I would be interested 
in comparing my readings to others using this method so we can see how much variance there is 
between individual gauges.
