Default engine temp Sensor-Gauge match

I recently replaced my engine temp sensor on my 94 XJ 4.0. The gauge is reading 15 degrees higher than the original. Are there any sensors available that will match my gauge?

Sounds like my 97. Gauge always read 210 (sometimes a hair under) at operating temp. Code reader always read between 197-206, depending on how soon i hooked it up after driving. Close enough for me.
