In the January 2014 Hot Rod magazine Hot Rod To The Rescue article called "Malcom Dunk's '65 Chevy El Camino Overheats the guy brings it in because the car cruises at 210-215 degrees... etc. etc.
Its a good read, they fix it with an aluminum radiator and an electric fan so it runs at 180, I think that's a bit drastic for my case, but I will find a happy medium somewhere in the neighborhood of 195.

OK just sayin cuz he said 215 after idling for several minutes
