I have a 90 sc auto all stock minus the straight piped exhaust, it runs great but i noticed the temp needle was registering just past the A on normal of the factory gauge. Just wondering since i have heard horror stories of head gaskets with these motors :eek:
 
You should be fine. If it reads anywhere on the word NORMAL then it is indeed normal, not to worry. I have an add on temp gauge and when my dash gauge reads in the same spot it's only about 200 degrees on my add on gauge.
 
I agree with mike. Before I had a 180 t-stat and a tune for it, my gauge used to read on the "m" and sometimes a lil more but everything was fine.
 
Mine runs consistantly at the 'M' on normal. In desert driving it runs on the "A" never had any internal issues.
