Cindy, first remind us all of what intake/carb you are using.

Are you taking these temps while idling? If so, try checking the temps at 2000rpm as well, and see how they compare side/side. You might be surprised.  Depending on the intake/carb set-up, a lean idle mixture to one side could explain the temp differences. An intake manifold gasket leak would do the same. Post the numbers for each header tube for us, so we can see the difference. If the engine is idling, and running fine, you may be chasing a ghost here.

Vette(s): 1973 Orange Metallic Coupe (orig owner), L82, 4 spd (WR), PS, (A/C & PW (I installed from wrecked 73)), leather, AM/FM Stereo, ran with '65 FI unit earlier & will again some day. 2023 Accelerate Yellow HTC Stingray

One thing I could think of but cannot think of a reason why it would happen would be that that side is running leaner then the other.
