Hi Scott,
Where the needle rests in the gauge will probably vary with the gauge
and sending unit in a given car, but here is my experience for
consideration.
With a 165 thermostat the needle was about 3/4 of the way to the N in
the C-N sector. It fluctuated down, often, so I replaced it with a 190
stat. That was in January. (We're in Connecticut) Needle then moved to
just touch the right leg of the N. That's where it stays, unless air temp
gets into the 90s, when it moves about 1/8 inch to the right of N.
