overheating issue on my 88 eliminator

[creep_in_the_jeep]

I have a 1988 eliminator and my gauge keeps running at 210 to 215 replaced bottle water pump and thermostat. It's a closed system would open fix it? How do I do an open system cheap thank you

how many miles and has the rad ever been changed?

210 to 215 is normal operating temperature.

I thought 190 was. And 177000 and I don't think it has been changed I'm not sure

190° is the thermostat opening temperature, 210° is normal operating temperature.

It will.sometimes get to 230 but it stays around 215 220
