I just arrived home from buying a 240 in San Francisco.
As I was driving across the Arizona Death Valley I noticed
that as I went up hills or mountains that the temp. gauge
went almost to red zone, almost every time..
Any advise would be helpful, ma says that the temp. sensor
is probably in the front of the engine and that when the
car was leaning back on the hills that the sensor was more
likely to read hot...
Please help.

The location of the sensor makes no difference, it's around the middle of
the cylinder head and the coolant is flowing at a pretty quick rate.

Clogged radiator can cause this, marginal fan clutch, stuck thermostat, etc.
