I would have thought you would have seen 330° - if the cluster were good! In the FSM there are values that you could supply to the cluster to check gauge accuracy BUT "KEY ON/RUN" disconnected I'd think you should see LO.
Here's the values to supply to the GAUGE and what to EXPECT if you can:
A d j u s t the resistance dials of the tester
to 1600, 1060, 254, 135 and 75 ohms. The Display
should indicate L O , 110, 180, 220 and
261 °F +/-6°F
or L O , 43, 82, 104, and 127°C ±
3°C.
• If the Display indicates correctly, replace
the Coolant Temperature Sender.
