[DeTomaso] Water temp sender update

[Asa Jay Laughton]

It was about 15 years ago or so, a bunch of folks in our local Mustang 
club who had been doing rebuilds, ended up with running really high 
temps.  It was kind of worrisome.  I was one of them.  The temp gauges 
read high but the engines never overheated.  It turns out we had all 
bought brand new temp senders and they were all reading high when 
checked against a thermocouple.  This lead us to believe the 
manufacturer wasn't getting the internal ohmic values correct.    So you 
can't really trust the sender all the time.
