Unhappy

Hey guys i finished my rats nest removal for the most part (slight vaccum leak and i have to get a pcv valve yet) and its much better now but now my temp gauge isn't working. Is there any way to get it working again? Does the rats nest removal affect the temp guage? Also my Car is a '79 12A

Well i didn't drive it i just started it for a few minutes but i thought it would be warm enough by then for the temp guage to read.
