 Until you have your gauge calibrated, the poor mans way of doing this is
 to watch your gauge very carefully as it warms up.  When your thermostat
 starts to open (at 180 F in your case), the needle will stop moving, >>

Might it be possible that the thermostat is stuck in the open position? 
Just a thought.
