OK, I tested the gauge by putting sending unit in boiling water, and it indeed seems pretty darn accurate.

I know the gauge works, the thermostat is good, water pump working, no air in system, system flushed, carb/ timing good, fanbelt tension good...

I'm going to reinstall gauge later in week, and actually drive car around for a while, and look at the readings. As numerous people on and off the board have suggested, the higher temp readings I'm getting at idle could be entirely normal. I'll post results, for those who are interested. Thanks for all suggestions/ assistance.
