220 is normal. I think the fan comes on at like 235 and off at around 215 but not really sure when it turns off. Stock thermostat is 195.

Thanks for responding-I just got the car and am ignorant as to where it should be (my gauge has numbers). Been having overheating (and electrical) problems and just need to know where it is supposed to be!!

Mine runs just after the C or 100 degrees(im guessing around 160). It never even reaches the first mark. This is after a new 3 core radiator, 160 degree thermostat and a new air deflector. Before it would get up to 250 degrees
