George, I know I'm a little late on this but I never knew a 15 months old daughter would keep me that busy! :)
Anyway, I had my rad recored and a new thermostat and original water pump, but the needle was still sitting to close to the red line for comfort when idling (even on a not so hot day (22c). Replaced the old (and badly cracked rad cap with a brand new one (of the correct pressure for my application - '69 Spit - ) and now the needle stay solidly in the middle, even idling in traffic in 33c weather.
