I've got a bunch of mechanical guage fittings. If you need one your welcome to it. I have a spare manifold we can use to test with. Fixing the electrical guage is not hard. Its either the sender($5), wiring, or the guage($40).

Jeep CJ has no valve.  Constant flow of coolant into the cab all the time.  The inside of that heater/AIR box just has baffles that redirect the air - like Steve said. 
With that being said, I think the whole heater core getting coolant issue is a moot point here guys.  I'm with Steve on the whole get it in the block opinion.  Actually, on that 304, there should be a temperature sending unit mounted in the intake manifold somewhere.  That ought to be all you need.

well on older chevy's and jeeps that I have owned, the heater core gets hot winter or summer. Your temp  controler only moves  the damper that directs air thru or by-passes the core. There's not a unused manifold plug you could use? I like my temp sensor in the block.]]> Wed, 19 Nov 2008 20:33:22 +0000 http://www.rocketcityrockcrawlers.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5136&PID=37568#37568 General 4x4 Discussion : Quickie temp guage http://www.rocketcityrockcrawlers.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5136&PID=37567#37567 Author: alabamatoy

You might wanna add one come spring, they arent expensive.  Might make the passenger compartment cooler in the summer.

My Jeep is a 75 model. Hell the passenger seat was an option on this thing, You want A/C you drop the windshield. I dont see any shut off valve. The hoses run straight from the heater core connections to the engine but I will double check at first light.

Most vehicles have a heater control valve that either mechanically or via vacuum shuts off and on the flow of hot water through the heater core.  Otherwise, in the summer, your AC would be working against your heater!]]> Wed, 19 Nov 2008 19:46:50 +0000 http://www.rocketcityrockcrawlers.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5136&PID=37563#37563 General 4x4 Discussion : Quickie temp guage http://www.rocketcityrockcrawlers.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5136&PID=37562#37562 Author: RL-RRC

Some vehicles cutoff the flow to the heater core when you select the cool setting in the the cab. I know that toyota does it but also I know that chevy and dodge dont on many older vehicles, so if you dont have a shut off valve on your heater hose it will give a good reading all the time.
