Default Normal engine temp?

what's the normal operating temp for the C-3's 82s in paticular? mine is running @ 180-200, and it's not very warm out yet.. I don't know if the temp gauge is faulty, reading normal or what. is theree a way to check the temp guage?

Sounds about right. Mine runs at 190, I have a 180 stat. Keep an eye on it for over 200.

Mine sometimes goes up to 210 usually is around 195-200, but it never goes over that.

Could it be because my engine is not stock and is modified?

only reason I am asking is because the flexible circuit board is damaged the only guages in the cluster that work are the temp , fuel and MAYBE the volts. I'm not sure about that one either cause it's always reading above 14
