hate to tell you, but, yes - that's the temp... better off getting a lower temp switch...

Order a Buick GN fan switch from GM i think it was like $16 or so. It comes on alot earlier....like around 180. Well worth it. Drove my car in bumper to bumper traffic in Boston quite a bit this summer and my baby never overheated.

I don't remember the part #, just ask for the fan switch for an '87 GN (thats a 3.8L), and you should be fine.
