Dave,
I know this probably isn't the best suggestion in the world, but I danced around with getting my temp gauge too work too. When you say that yours is always reading low, how low does it read? How far will it sweep out when you run the engine hard? It really might not be a big deal. When I had my original temp sensor I only got the needle to the halfway point once.
As a lot of people on the forum have said, these aren't temp guages like the 911 had, so they're not too terribly indicative of what is actually going on in your engine. All you know is the oil temp where you're taking the reading. Granted, it is nice to know what your engine is doing.
Anyway, if the needle moves to a certain point once the engine is warmed up you could always just use that as your new reference point for normal operating temperature, and know that something wrong my be happening if the needle suddenly gets really hot. My gauge reads backwards, and I have a similiar reference point on mine. It's probably not the greatest, but whatever works....
