I have a 73 2.0, stock injection. Recently installed a brand-new combo gauge from PA Speedo. I presumed the oil temp gauge was calibrated to the sensor, but now I'm not sure. I installed a dipstick thermometer from Mainley Custom that I verified calibration against two thermometers at three different temps. My dash gauge reads 240 while my dipstick gauge reads 225. Would there be any good reason to see this kind of difference, or is my dash gauge just not calibrated correctly.

the gages measure at differnt locations and the dip stick has some air around the top. Seems like a lot of a drop but it may be possible that the different locations and that the dipstick is not totally covered may affect the temps that much. Your reading both seem kind of high.
