Question Normal Operating Temperature?

Can someone tell me around what temperature should my stock 1985 12a RX-7's engine be running at? In 25+C weather the car runs right on half and goes past half when the air conditioning is on. I feel this is a bit to high but I just want to check to see if anyone actually knows the normal operating temperature.

Thanks in advance,
Jeff

180ºF or 82ºC is where most Tstats open. I'm not sure how much above that is conidered normal range though.
