Never checked acurately. Always been happy with the original gauge swinging straight to 1/2 way across. According to the greenbook this is 85°. I'd strip the wire back a bit, tin it and crip a new end on it and check it again. The D-Jet sender connectors are screwed on + I think the D-Jet wiring harness is better quality than the wiring harness has, unless you replaced that with new stuff(even better).

Have you pulled out the thermostat and looked at? Don't pull the rubber seal off and you can stick it back in again as is. If sealant is needed, Hylomar is my 1st choice there, 2nd choice is Loctite's purple gasket eliminator, that's the one I use on the rear crank seal housing and timing cover instead of the thin gaskets you would get in a sump set.
