I had different readings with several senders none of which were satisfactory. I finally did a temperature reading with an infrared thermometer and then used a variable resistor between the sender and the gauge wire to dial in the needle to where I wanted to see it at normal operating temperature. For me I set it at halfway. I then measured the resistance and found a corresponding resistor to place in line. This will only work if your gauge is reading too high.
