I cannot vouch for the accuracy of the gauge and sender at the time but the stove top thermostat test was done carefully and it began to open a little before 140°, was fully open by 140° so the stat was performing to spec.

I'm not so sure the front of the head right next to the thermostat housing (late model) is the best place to sense temperature.
