That would be the after market name for a temperature gauge from an auto parts store. The one that comes factory in the dash is merely a switch that is more than likely always wrong and never consistant.
That's the old style gauge which doesn't require any electric (maybe only if you want the gauge to light up at night). They have a copper line which goes directly into the gauge and on the end it has bulb which goes into the coolant. Those temperatures are a little warm for my taste (get yourself a real warm day sitting in traffic and it's going to overheat). Most of the vehicles I ever owned ran right at the thermostat temperature or a bit bellow. Do you at least see the gauge move up and down as the thermostat opens and closes (usually you will if everything is in good working order)? Also, 195* is a bit high of a t-stat. I usually run 180, but it's a little bit warmer down my way than where some of you guys live.
It's probably been changed out at some point.
