So yesterday's 'where does the fuel line go' question was too easy.
Here's another one for you all....

Folly is an '84 wasserboxer Adventurewagen.  A few months back I
replaced the dash with an '85 dash and instrument cluster. All works,
and yet I have what should be a simple question. Having owned nothing
but early Vanagons I do not know where 'normal' is on the later
temperature gauge (digital clock/tach). On the early (analog clock)
temp gauge, 'normal' is somewhere near the LED. I installed a tested
87 degree Waller thermostat and in 15 miles highway driving, the
temperature gauge gets to just above the 1/4" white bar at the bottom
of the gauge.  Is this 'normal' for the later gauge?
