My temp guage has never read right (i think) on a 88* day in south fla. it doesn't go over 140*. I have an electric fan (hayden 24339) don't know the cfm rating but it blows like hell. no heater core. the motor is a 383 with edlebrock e-tec vortec aluminum heads. the sender is in the head between # 6 & 8 plugs. should it be somewhere else? i mean temp is temp, right?

Mechanical? Bourdon tube? It may not be inserted/deep enough into the head.

The temperature switch for "idiot" lights is usually in the head, but senders for gauges are typically mounted on the intake manifold close to the thermostat housing.
Eitherway, you should get a reading.. Do you have the correct sender?

2x the Aussie guy....damn its hard to agree with a bloody aussie lol...
Check the sensor in the kitchen jug and a thermometer...covered in many old posts.
The difference betrween the head and and valley cover locations is negiable
Had done both...run both idiot light and temp gauges.

Politics & rugby.. Not subjects I have much interested in.
Greg Murphy is my fav V8SC driver, so we probably agree on that too. (Oh no!)

You have it on the right side , would it read differently on the left ?

 

[Steptoe]

so we probably agree on that too. (Oh no!)

Nope now you are pushing it m8 lol
Greg has personality...rather than a top driver..hes good, just doesnt quite get all the way
