The other possibility is you have a Weiand or Milodon water pump in which the recirc passage has not been drilled out. That usually results in a pulsating temp gage as the engine warms up. The gage swings quickly from cold to hot, and then back to cold again. Over & over several times until the engine reaches operating temp.

Stock water pump on the engine with 13,000 original miles so I don't believe there is an issue with the recirc passage. The temp guage would never pulsate…slow warm up to 190 ( about 10 minutes) then sit there and slowly climb to about 225 where it would start to puke out the overflow line…..
