The guage is operated by the temperature sending unit. There should be a single green wire connected to it (it's been that same wire since the '50s). You should be able to connect this green wire to a good ground and force the temperature guage to read full scale. If not, there may be a power problern to the guage itself. The GAGE fuse operates that, and several other things, including all the "ditched emisions crap". May be relevant.
