When I got Scamp ('89) that's about where the gauge sat.  Thermostat
was starting to open at the correct temp, but opening fully much too
soon.  New thermostat and new gauge sender from Ken Wilford (and new
T-II sender as well, it was also bad along with the radiator fan
stage-I switch), and the gauge now gets to a couple needle-widths
above the LED when the fan starts up.  Otherwise it's between the
center of the LED and about a needle-width above it.
