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.

If you can pull the sender and heat it in water with it connected to the gauge....212F is the boiling temp of water.
