My Dad had a similar problem with his 5.0 coupe and it was an air pocket in the cooling system. His t-stat housing had a fitting on it to burp it.

His stat is working. The top hose is smoking hot and the lower hose is cool. I am leaning towards a bad or weak water pump. It is moving a little bit but not anywhere near what it should be moving. You can basically feel the stat open when holding the top hose. It gets real hot for a moment. The lower one stays warm at best. The impeller in the pump probally isnt up to par to flow enough coolant. Could be corroded. Its original.

HAHA Loosen the 13mm bolt holding the dist down and turn it clockwise just a tad. That will do ya. At the end of the TFI module you will get about 1/4 to 3/8 of an inch. Thats it. That will put you at about 13-14 degrees advance.;)

I appreciate everyone's support. The timing issue has been corrected. It was 2 teeth off and has been fixed and adjusted and set at 12 degrees. It is still running warmer than normal. The water pump is going to get replaced on Saturday (it is the ORIGINAL pump.... 14 years old and 150,000 miles) The pump is working, but we think it is just barely doing it's job.
The pump will be replaced and the radiator is being removed and flushed out. Hopefully these 2 items will cure my temperature issue(s).
On a side note, I was to thank WICK. What a super nice guy and he didn't have to stop out, but he did and got the timing fixed up pretty quickly.
He even took the time to answer questions and explain how things worked and even my dumb a$$ could understand it.
