Had been running hot before but assumed it was water loss since the Waterpump shaft was so badly scored. I ran Preston Radiator Flush thru the system for a couple of weeks, (maybe 50 miles), when I drained the system it wasn't terribly cruddy, but flushed Radiator and Engine with water hose until clear ware ran through. Went back and double checked and fan belt was not as tight as I think it should be, adjusted that and will see if it makes a difference. I'll try to validate the Temp Gauge with an additional thermometer this week...

Thanks for the input..
