Ok, installed an autometere. Never goes over 200 degrees. Fans kick on at 195.

So it appears that guage spring or whatever holds the guage is a little weak.

Thanks for all the responses and help.

Only issue im dealing with now is it smelling like RAW GAS. it has a quadrajet on it that is stock and rebuilt. I dont know if its normal smell or not. ahah. I adjusted the idle and the idle mixture down a bit, but still strong gas odor.
