I inherited an '87 corvette convertible with manual transmission. What should the coolant temperature be? In idle after starting, it rose to 200 degrees. I don't remember it going that high.

That's about right. Gauges are an approximation of what of the temperature really is.

1,840

boiling point is closer to 240 with coolant and under pressure. you do have a water / coolant mix in the car......right?
