Running hot after partial coolant change

The only work I did was address a small fuel leak, small coolant leak, and replaced exhaust gaskets. I did remove the distributor to raise the engine, but verified the timing after everything was buttoned up. The lower hose looks fine, although it is a universal type with the wire on the inside. I suspect even if it were trying to collapse, the wire would prevent that some.

I'll try idling it with the cap half way on and see where that gets me.
