Default ENGINE TEMPERATURE GAUGE

I have a 1997 model V6 3.8 lts. As you know the temperature gauge in the cluster
does not have values. Which are for instance the middle and the maximum value
in ºF numbers ? thanks in advance.

Those types of gauges are not calibrated so trying to put actual values on them don't mean anything.

Generally speaking the needle should always be one or two needles wide to the LEFT of the middle of the guage. Middle is getting warm, anywhere to the right of the center is overheating.
