Normal!!! Don't worry about it! To reassure you: My '86 has run that way from the day I bought it back in 1989... and that's with two radiator replacements and one t-stat replacement and several flushes. My mom's '84 ran the exact same way. So long as your cooling fan is turning on when the needle gets to the right side of the light, and so long as the red light isn't flashing and/or the needle isn't pegging to the right, it's fine!

As for the ground cables: If they're as old as the car, do indeed replace them. Locations: http://www.cabby-info.com/electrical.htm#Ground
