Default What temperature Is your GTO running??

I have 1966 GTO Tri-power, 4-speed. It runs around 190-200 degrees. Yesterday I was Driving it to my favorite Cruising place. It is about 40 minutes away hitting regular stop lights. The temperature outside was around 85 degrees at 5:30pm.
The engine temperature was around 200-205 with all the stop lights.
Taking to a guy at the show who was an old engine builder said that was to hot for the engine.

I have a stock radiator and fan. Use regular coolant with a bottle of wetter water. (or something similar)

Questions:

Is this too hot?

If it is, what can I do to reduce the temperature?

What temp does your GTO run on the road?

Thanks,
