Some years ago I checked two coolant temp gauge sensors
in hot water. Both gave these results:
   Temperature	   Resistance
   Deg F   Deg C   ohms
   =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D   =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D   =3D=3D=3D=3D
   158      70      392
   167      75      314
   176      80      276
   185      85      234
   194      90      200
   203      95      173
   212     100      154
   221     105      127 **

** I did this determination back in 1989 and unfortunately,
I don't remember how I managed to get hot water to 105 Dec C!!!
(Could I have used an oil bath?)

Good luck,
