How hot is hot?

a lot of folks will argue but in our old cars,thats too hot.mine will run all day in the hottest temps at 180.make sure the rad is up to par,the stat is good,you have a shroud,elect fans are always a problem.you always hear of a temp problem with them.granted ive never used them,but ive never had a overheating issue.stock cooling has always worked great for me.i run a spring in my lower hose to prevent colapse.try and verify the guages are correct.
