My 84 normally runs a smidge to the right of the lamp, like right on its
edge. Even when climbing up a long grade in 100F+ weather the needle
doesn't move much farther than one lamp width more to the right. At this
point, or at low speeds when there isn't enough air being forced through
the radiator, the high speed fan turns on. After a few minutes the fan
turns off, the needle having moved a smidge to the left.
