what does the temp gauge do??
could be a faulty voltage reg on the back of the speedo housing.
12 volts going in to reg and should have around 8 or nine volts max coming out.

Or maybe per chance the sender unit.
process of elimination - step 2- swap sender unit or check variable resistance with multimeter.
