I got a new temp gauge from Corvette Central and a new sender from lectric limited. I installed the sender with RTV on the threads. The gauge barely came off 100. I called lectric limited, the guy told me that you're not supposed to use any sealer and that the sender wasn't grounding right. I took the sender out cleaned it off and re installed it. Now it works but won't go past 130. I loosened up the sender and retightened it a few times to make sure it was getting good contact, same result. Do you think I got a bum sender? Also, I grounded out the wire and the gauge went all the way to the top.
Any advice is greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
Matt

to be accurate the gauge needs to be calibrated to the sender..
