Jim---There's a 180 deg. thermostat in my cooling system. Under ordinary
driving, the temperature gauge needle stops with the needle covering the
center hash mark, so I take this to mean the needle will stop at whatever
thermostat is controlling the system.  There are reports from owners of the
later six that their needle usually points between the second mark and
center mark. This could mean there's a 160 thermostat in place, or there's a
lot of gauges out there that don't read correctly.

If in doubt, you could take a "candy" thermometer and check the coolant when
the temp is at the normal operating area on the gauge.

It must be old age, but I forgot what temperature the coolant is at when the
stock gauge is at the half way point? 

Thanks!
