That sounds a little too hot but not a serious problem. If you have an
auxiliary fan the thermal sensor is setup to come on at 205 degrees, if
I remember right. Maybe the radiator is getting a bit clogged so it makes
the motor run a bit hot. Also a water pump that is worn would make it run
hotter. Of course the thermostat itself could be the issue, and that is
the cheapest easiest thing to replace. In my experience they only last about
3-4 years at the most. I have an 84 that is starting to exhibit running a
bit hotter than it should. On my 84 it's time for a thermostat and a
radiator.
