Temp. Gauge and thermostat housing.

I was just wondering if any of you have the same problem.... when I bought my car the temp gauge didnt work until I drove the car for about 20 minutes.... then over the winter I did a heads and intake swap.... so I put in a new temp sensor and sending unit.... So I would imagine that stuff is good to go... I also put in a 160 thermostat, so I was wondering if maybe the car isnt heating up enough to get the gauge to register?... or maybe something else is messed up?.... thankyou for any all all feedback.

Something else is messed up. If the car is running for any length of time, it will get warm enough to move the temp gauge needle.

Buy a real gauge and be done with the OEM one.
