Sounds like the thermostat is OK. The radiator flow may still be in question though. Removing upper and lower radiator hoses and running a garden hose in the top will tell you if it has good flow through to the lower hose.

Does it overheat even on the open road like cruising at 45+ ? In that environment the fan doesn't do much even if it does work right, so overheating in that situation is likely caused by a problem somewhere else in the cooling system or something else with the engine like the ignition timing.

I do agree that you need to get the fan working if it isn't. Sorry if I wondered off track.
