temp switch

i dont know if i got the right spot but i have a 302 h.o with the digitl dash and the temp gage wont move from cold so i looked in a shop manual i have and found it might be the temp switch/sender. i need to know if they go bad or not?

I would think so...

I never thought my gauge worked in my 86 5.0 car with digi dash. Until I over heated one day. It maxed out the gauge. Before that it never moved...

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.
