I'm going to throw this one in here..

My car was cooling right at 160 all spring. Once the hot summer months hit it was running near 220. I replaced the thermostat with a new 195 as that is all the parts store had and it would warm up to 220 and not budge. I took the thermostat out completely and the car runs a notch under 160. Even sitting at a stop light in 95* summer heat it will barely get to 170 and then once I start moving it drops right back down again. Had the same issue with the '67 Bonneville I had last summer. That car didn't have a gauge but it would puke water everytime I parked it. Took the thermostat out and it ran fine, even when we had the week or so of 105* august days last summer.
