Just do a test of your existing gauge to determine what actual water temperature corresponds to the markings on your gauge. Use a heat gun on the radiator right under where the passenger side top hose enters the top tank. Normal calibration would be 160 at the center mark, 180 at the 3/4 mark and 200 at the top mark. Mine reads about 10 degrees cooler than that, but I know that. If my gauge hits the top mark, it will be blowing steam.
