Yeah, I should - I was planning on putting one in my mustang this summer - I already have the gauge pod for it, but money is tight at the moment.
The factory gauge is pretty sensitive, although it doesn't tell you the right thing, on all of my Ford cars. The needle oscillates around "O" in "normal" when the engine is at 195-210F. If it gets to the "AL" region, it's boiling or around 235F, and beyond the "L", you need a new cylinder head.
