Default ‘36 LB. temp ranges, thermostats?

Hi guys/gals. I have a 1936 LB in my ‘29 model A. I installed the engine this winter. I have been running her almost every day since the weather has gotten nicer. Every time I take her out, the day is a little warmer and the car gets a little warmer. Today on the way home the temp gauge was showing 210. I have no thermostats in it yet. Will thermostats keep her in the 190-200 range? If so what thermostats do you recommend? My ‘29 radiator I was told was good By a radiator shop and I had them modify it for dual upper and lower inlets. Today was only 82-84 degrees so I am a little worried about it when temps get higher as summer comes along. I did have a little coolant coming out the overflow tube when I got home.
