Stock Operating Temperature

I was wondering what most of your stock gauges read to. My sender was screwed up when I got the car. Replaced it, now the gauge goes no higher than the "M" in NORM on the gauge then will cool to about "OR" or so then go back up to "M" Is this normal? Thanks
 
Joe,
It's hard to compare the exact gauge position between cars, because it's not really accurate, but yours sounds typical. I've had to replace the sender a couple times, and each one gave different readings. I didn't trust it so I got an Autometer temp gauge - it's much better to know the real temperature!

BTW I see you're in San Bruno - I'm in San Mateo, welcome to the club. If you ever need a hand with the car, let me know.
