Your AC condenser will inhibit air flow at idle. And now is a good time to check if it overheats with AC on and the condenser being an additional heat source for the radiator.
Check the cooling section for tips and tricks. Vacuum advance and timing, minimum clearance on water pump divider plate, factory clutch fan, air burped out of system, make sure all baffles and factory components in place. If it cools down at speed then it points to an air flow problem…
