Radiator is hot.  I know the thermostat works because I took it out.  Heated 
up some water with a temp gauge in it and it opened right when it was 
supposed to.  However, I don't know that the sending unit is correct.  Does 
anyone know of a way to test it to see what electrical signals it should be 
sending at what temp?  I will clean the contacts and see if that helps any.
