You didn't mention what you'd done to combat the likely overheating. Be sure to change the thermostat, flush the cooling system, and check to be sure the water pump is circulating coolant.
Then, if things are still on the hot side, you could get yourself an aftermarket gauge that has actual numbers on it and replace the stock one for diagnostic purposes. I'd think that car should idle in the 170-190 degree F range (with 190 being a bit on the high side as I suspect the thermostat should open around 183-ish).
If this shows that you're still overheating, then I'd suspect that the radiator is on its last legs and could stand at least a steam cleaning, if not a complete recoring.
Good luck!
