Depends what the resistance range of the sender is supposed to be.

It could be perfect, it could be way off.

ive run an electric gauge in a commodore from the factory sensor and it was spot on, sat on the right temp on the gauge when the thermostat was fully open as per factory temp specs! even switched it while running to the dash gauge and it was spot on.
