Try a larger water pump pulley.

  Help needed again,

  A great day for a drive on Sunday, about 78F and no humidity or
  clouds.
  This was my longest excursion so far after getting my 65 Midget
  on the road 
  last week.
  After travelling for about 15 minutes at 50mph the temp went up
  to 220F and 
  stayed there.  When I slowed down to travel through a small town,
  the temp 
  dropped to 190F, then returned to 220F once I speeded up again.
  This is the 
  opposite to what should be happening.  I changed the Thermostat
  to a 160 
  prior to driving it this weekend, everything seems to be working
  okay.

  Any suggestions?

  Thanks for the help,

  Regards,

  Dave
