Where do you have the sensor for the water temperature gauge installed in the engine? When I first installed my electric fan, I installed the thermostat for it in the back side of the intake manifold on my 350. The fan never turned on because it was not getting hot enough because it wasn’t making contact with water. So I moved it to the thermostat housing and it started getting a proper reading. All that to say, maybe your gauge is not getting a proper reading.
