BLACKJACK-

Here is a shot in the dark but you never know...

I see where you said that the ignition key gets hot sometimes, then you said that the fuel guages are reading incorrectly and the water temp guage is indicating a temp that is higher then it should.

Is there a possibility that there is a ground problem or some other kind of electrical issue in the wiring in your dash?

I think you should make sure that the temperatures that you are getting are real - maybe the guage is indicating too high.

Good luck.
