...My 84 4000s hovers around the middle hash between the 60 and 130 
markings. Does anyone know what the middle hash signifies. It is not clear
if it is ~80 or 95 ( 95 is midway between 60 and 130)` 
  One rare occasions (90 F day, city driving I have seen it approach 130C
on the guage). When you say "barely moves pass 60" does this mean to the 
first hash passed 60. If so I think your guage is normal.
