Have you checked the actual water temp with a thermometer? I use my wifes candy thermometer when she is not watching. If the temp of the water is too hot then I would start the process of elimination. Check water level, pressure cap, thermostat, fan belt tension, ignition timing, and exhaust restriction. A lot of the time the guage is not working properly. I am sure there are more things to check but these will get you started.
