Cooling and charging systems.

nhpanterageorgeFormerly Geoshanna

I'm a new owner of a 72 Pantera (Yesterday). My two questions are; What is the "Normal" water temp on these cars? I was driving her today and the temp got over 160. I noticed the switch for the fans an turned that on and it seemed to help. Do those fan kick on automatically when needed?
Also, with the charging system, is it normal for the car to over charge to the point that the blower fan for the defrost and the wipers go faster? The amp meter seems to jump to an over charge state.
I'm a previous owner of a 1966 Shelby GT350H, so I'm well aware of charging systems of older cars.

Thanks for any help I can get.
