I also tested my temp gauge and new sensor. I think at most the gauge could be off by about 15-20 degrees. I used a Laser based thermometer and pointed it at the sensor end. After running for 5 minutes, it showed 136 degrees. Based upon my estimate on the Gauge it was reading around 140-150. Hard to estimate it exactly. Good news is that I don't have to calibrate the Temp Sensor and Gauge. Later this summer, I will use my laser thermometer and figure out differences. It is not unusual for engine to get to 210 or so in 95 degree day.

I understand that if I need to dial in the temp, I will have to use additional resistors in parallel to lower the resistance. We will see. Right now, I am going to avoid the calibration step for the engine temp.

So, looks like the new combo gauge for temp/fuel is going to work out.

I would say your temp gauge is spot on. Using an infant red point-and-shoot temp reader gun would surely be a little bit less on the outside of the thermostat housing (or wherever you are pointing to) than directly sensing in the coolant itself.
