The "normal" position for an undamaged temperature gauge in a Gen1 in top shape is slightly below the halfway mark - and it should stay there.

Aside from radiator, thermostat, cooling fan clutch and temperature gauge sender issues, it is fairly common for the gauge itself to become damaged as a result of alternator voltage regulator issues.
