Dear Gurus,
I installed autometer gauges on my 89 colony park. Rebuilt engine, new radiator. The guage has a midway point between 180 and 210 which is where the temp hovers. Right or wrong?

exactly right. you more than likely have a 180 thermostat which means the temp should be over 180 for it to open...so about 190 is correct...thats where my needle rests too.
