The new old Tour I bought seems to have a low-temperature thermostat in it, or maybe a jammed one: the gauge barely gets up to the bottom of the mormal range. So my question is, to those of you who buy low temperature thermostats on purpose: how high does the gauge go, and is the bottom of the normal range on the dial too low?

It doesn't help that this car's automatic fan switch is broken, and some goober put in a manual switch for the radiator fan, instead of fixing it. To be safe, I mostly leave it on. Better too cold than too hot.
