Usually, the line below the middle line is about 195. Somwhere between this line and the middle line on a 87-93.

I got sick of playing guessing games with factory gauges so I bought all new mechanical aftermarket gauges ftw!!! and it should read as close to your t-stat rating as possible when conditions are ideal
