I did notice that even running the heater causes the temp gauge to go up.

Wow, okay never had that happen before....The temp sending unit is the same one as before?

Off the TFI (ignition) module on the distributor there is a little jumper connector in one of the wires. Not sure of the wire color.

This wire is the signal from the ECU that controls the timing. You must disconnect it to set the base timing. If you set the timing with this jumper connected it will be WAY retarded. This can cause the car to run warm and feel sluggish.
