I'm gonna drive it around the block once the weather cools down a bit here and I'll keep you posted.

Am I crazy to think that maybe having the sensor right below the steam return would mean steam was going over the sensor and making it read that high?

Maybe. I have to admit I don’t know and I would not have expected moving it to work that well. Good job!

Owning these cars is an exercise in learning. It’s part of the fun imho.
