I purchased the same gauge and just installed it. Mine also reads nearly 190 degrees. I have a Motometer, and checked my new radiator with one of those IR heat sensing guns. The top tank was about 165 with the Motormeter showing about 1/4 inch of red. My new gauge is reading about 190 with the same level on the Motormeter. I suspect the gauge is reading high, but haven't checked it again.
