Default temp guage help

changed my temp sensor on the head

the gague seems to read alot higher now fan comes in at 3/4

runs just a bit over half

before it was a lower reading with old sensor

do you guys know if there are different sensors

i got mine from allwoods as ford didnt have one in

seems a bit weird unless some thing else is letting go lol
