I've been trying to figure out what model this gauge was originally. So far in searching I've seen some close that are out of a 914-6, but have also seen similar marked as 911. Any ideas? I haven't had a chance to pull the gauge to look for a part number yet. I think the sensor for the oil temp is mismatched since it's reading cool.

I am unable to assist with the gauge, but you may consider checking the low temp reading with a known source, IR or similar

That appears to be a 1970-1972 914/6 combo gauge, per P914.com (RIP)
https://web.archive.org/web/20190718110228/...auges_combo.htm If you tilt it back at an extreme angle you may be able to see a part number under the rim/bezel at the top. |

The gauge should have a tiny part number in it.
Seen at an angle Looks like the 6 one which doesn’t have dash bulbs The 4 cylinder combo gauge did have dash lighting |

The one on my -6 has horizontal lines in the two 'boxes'. See if you can get the part number on the upper rim.

Good idea should be close enough as reading is from the sump anyway pay to check the "G" wire on the gauge to sender ,most likely you have a duff sender or wrong rating for the same ,cheers |

Had a chance to look at the gauge and find the number. Looks like it's a '70-'26 914-6 one. Now that I know this, I can look to see if the sender is a correct match and the connections are good.
I should have stated from the start that I don't think the car is running hot. I am only attempting to have a more accurate reading at the gauge.  |
