Ok. That’s similar to how mine was. 50-60 degrees hotter than my mechanical gauge.
Looking at lectric limited’s site, 77s with Pontiac motors are a different part number than 79s and 80s with Pontiac motors which are the same part number. Obviously the 400 wasn’t available in 80 but it’s the same part number for the 400 or 301 which I believe is because the gauge in 79-81 cars is set up differently and requires different resistance than earlier gauges at the same temp.
