My 30 coupe is similar to Mitch's; I see a little red if I am sitting idling, but drops back down to just below the visible area when I'm driving. When I stick a thermocouple in the radiator, I get about 185-190F, so no problem, just isn't calibrated to rise to the "Summer Average" line I guess.... I wonder if the original motometers did so? Mine is Vinteque reproduction.
