Default Whats going on with my stat?

I installed a 160 stat this morning and topped off my radiator, but my temp guage is hovering just over 210. What could be causing this?

The gauge once warm will read the same since it's not accurate, should be just below 210 though. Make sure you got all the air out of the system.

i read on here somewhere that the 99 and up fbody's temp gauge is nothing more than a dummy light, it has to get really hot for it to show any other reading.
i have a 99 and my friend has a 98, we both put in 160 stats in and his dropped a lot, mine stayed the same.
there is alot of info in here about it, just do a search and alot of reading,that is what i did
