Got my temp gauge working but I would rather have numbers don't much like the lines where's operating temperature for 396 the middle ?

 

To the left is cold, right is hot, in the middle is warm. And that's not enough to keep you happy?
Yeah, don't blame you about not liking to be in the semi-blind. 180 degrees I believe is the first line after the 1/4 mark. I always viewed the center line (straight up) as the "do not go beyond" point.

 

Thank you sir

 

At least it's better than an idiot light

 

Yeah you're right
