You're putting one and one together and coming up with three. Just because the needle on your gauge goes to the right peg when you turn off the switch doesn't mean the gauge is bad. Those are "balanced" gauges as I recall; they don't necessarily return to zero because there's no spring on the needle.
You said you "burped" the engine. The fact that you (presumably) weren't seriously seriously scalded tells me the engine was WAY low on coolant. Are you sure it is FULL of coolant now? You need to get all the air out of the engine. This may take several iterations of topping off the radiator and driving it before all the air has been worked out.
It doesn't sound to me like there was a problem with the original thermostat. An engine with a 195 degree thermostat SHOULD run around 210. In fact, if it never gets any hotter than that it could indicate a coolant leak (because water boils at 212 at atmospheric pressure). Hmm, you say you replaced the intake manifold gaskets; was there a leak?
