It is possible your compensation board was removed allowing for the needle to rise higher. Compensation boards were usually bypassed because they gave faulty temperature readings. With the age of your car I’d also take a good look at your radiator fins. If they are clogged, the engine will run hotter. My 90 had that problem. (I also bypassed the comp. board due to the needle hardly moving.) Although in my case it was a more extreme situation as the car would run borderline red in traffic but was okay when moving. Can’t complain though. The car still had its OEM Blackstone radiator at 300k…:)
