Default Coolant Temp Too High???

I replaced the stock guage with an Autometer, and I also swapped out the therm. for a 180degree. When the car is warming up and reaches slightly over 180, the therm works and the temp drops to 180. As it fully warms up, it is creeping up to about 195 and doesn't seem to be dropping much.

Is 195-200 degrees too hot? Why is the temp not dropping if the therm. is working? Could it be the coolant?

Any thoughts or advice is appreciated. Thanks!

Mike
