New engine, temp gauge

My daughter and I put a new engine in the 69 C10 I gave her, the temp gauge always ran about 1/4 of the way but with new engine and temp sending unit it runs a little over half way. We installed new water pump and radiator. Doesn't seem to actually be hot so I'm wondering if it's the sending unit being calibrated different? Anyone have a similar issue?

Does the cluster have lights or gauges? There are two different senders for them, maybe you have the wrong sender.....
