I had a similar issue with my 57, the temp gauge was continuously in the red. The mechanic told me it needed a resistor in the wiring and that would bring the reading down into the correct range. After he installed the resistor it looked real good, but being in Arizona I was concerned that something might not be totally right. I bought an aftermarket gauge set and installed the Oil Pressure/Temp Guage combo. The new gauge is now confirming the water temp and they are both reading just at the 180 degree point. Even when the temp here has been well into the triple digits I am running at 180. Feel much better about it now.
