engine temperatures and aftermarket thermometers....

Hi guys,
Just a few quick questions...
I recently replaced my factory gauges on my mkIII supra with a set of EL guages I made myself (which look nuts )but when I put everything back together, the placement of the needle for my temperature gauge was off a lil so it doesn't accurately read the temp. Now due to the fact that it was a pain in the arse to get it all in, I don't like the idea of taking it all apart to fix the needle. Also considering that I would much rather actual numbers than a rough idea of a scale between C and H (and I'm lazy), and that I have a spare blue backlit thermometer that would easily mount on/in my dash with a temperature probe that would need a lil modification....
Basically what range of temperatures can I expect from my 7MGE, where does the temperature probe from the existing gauge conect (somewhere near the thermostat I would assume??) and has anybody used a standard thermometer for this sort of use and can recommend/not recommend it?
