I never had any temperature problems with my radiator, which may have been
the original, but it started to leak badly. I took it around to several places
looking for a recore, but only one place would consider it, and they wanted a
huge amount of money (I'm in the Maryland suburbs of DC). So I bought a new
one from Moss and it looks just fine, but now my temp gauge rides just under
the "H", where as before it was just over the midpoint. And, yes, I did flush
the system.

Pull the radiator and take it to a radiator shop.
They will flush it, patch it and paint it for about half the
cost of new in my experience.
You save the cost of pulling and reinstalling the radiator which
makes it a reasonable deal, AND you get to keep the original radiator
that came with the car.
