Do a search for a boiling point table, look for 16 lb pressure, adjust for
coolant mixture and operating altitude.
For further safety you could deduct 3 degrees, though I dont think it's
necessary

The thermostat is 192 degrees. That is the coldest the engine should run.
Figure it will spend most of its time around 200 to 210.

I would get concerned if it gets over 220 and shut if off right now if it
goes over 240.

Oh yeah, if you see steam coming out from under the hood, shut it off NOW!
