mr48 really hit on a good point. The original gauge calibration puts the temp gauge near the center of the range around 170 to 180 degrees. Running a 190 thermostat usually causes the needle to rest much closer to "hot." If your engine is averaging 195-205 that's going to put the needle at "Hot." I believe I installed a resistor installed inline to scale the entire temperature display. I can double check my parts list if you are interested.
