Running temp is dependent on cooling system condition, and outside temp.

Have a new Bergs radiator, motor rebuilt last winter so no rust in head/block, running antifreeze. Spring and fall in WI it is lucky to get to 120 degrees, so I run a 160 degree thermostat with bypass holes drilled in it. Summer up into low 90s it runs about 170 - 180 with the thermostat.
