I have the same problem on my car. When the weather heats up, sitting idle in traffic or at a light cooling becomes an issue. In the cool weather the car stays pinned at 185.
I added the plastic fan shroud and the rubber pieces that surround the radiator, but the issue remains. I have a 7 blade fan with no clutch.
I know another guy with a 442 who had a similar issue and it turned out to be a clogged radiator. Looked clean and fine when you opened the cap, but the middle of the cores were blocked with corrosion.
Most radiator shops will perform a flow test for free so I recommend you have the radiator tested before spending money on parts that might not work, although the shroud is probably good to have anyway.
