[QUOTE="Jetsetter, post: 517564, member: 10857"] I have a 97 GT with 213K miles. The dilemma I'm having is that while installing my white faced gauges I took the needles off and subsequently guestimated their positions when putting them back on. This is fine for most of my gauges, but I'm having some play with the temperature gauge. Sometimes it will sit left of center, sometimes center, and then sometimes right. The right is what concerns me. I realize our stock gauges are, for lack of a better term, crap, but I'm not sure what I'm actually supposed to be expecting. I have a 160 degree thermostat, but that is it as far as cooling mods go. So what temperature should I be expecting? Did I put the needle in the wrong place? Am I actually running a little hot? For the record, I hooked up our Snap-on Modis scanner and the computer is reading 207 degrees while sitting after the car has been driven. [/QUOTE]
