What to expect

#1

Home away from home

Today I installed new voltage regulator.
The car is now showing charging for 1st time
It pegged over to the right
After a bit it dropped down to about 3/4.
After driving 35 minutes it showed discharge when I turned off engine.
Also now the temp guage will not work
I checked the block temp with my heat gun it showed 185 degrees.
Does that seem acceptable?
This is actually the 1st timeII have driven the car and I am not sure what to expect.
