The sensor readings look close enough.
Another test you can do is run the engine up to operating temperature (195), shut it off, and see what the resistance is when warm.
My guess is, the sensor is not the problem.

Thanks, ChevyTech. I was hoping all I needed was a new ECT sensor.
I would test the sensor with the engine at operating temp, but I have a crankcase full of gasoline. If I change the oil/filter now (so I can get it up to operating temp), it's just going to dump more gas in the sump. I don't have a thermometer or temp tester, or I would remove the sensor and test it in a pot of hot water on the stove. What would you do now if you were in my shoes?
