I have Autometer gauges in my '33, and the sender looks to be the same one you posted the link to. It's really small with a small adapter. I hooked up the gauge cluster out of my Blazer and ran the car until it was warm (195*), and it looks to be where your gauge is running. The factory gauge is supposed to be around 190* straight up, but I guess if you know you're at 195* when the needle is at 1/4 of the gauge it doesn't really matter. You might have to zoom in to read the scanner, but it's at 195*.
