Updated news:
Something is screwy with this problem, right? Rebuilt the radiator which shop says "will cool a Mack truck"!, new water pump, new thermostat, checked timing, vacuum and all ignition components. So now thinking it's the sending unit or gage.

Put in a new sending unit (they're not cheap) and that seemed to fix the hot gage reading.
Pulled the motor and distribution tube was clean, checked cooling channels in block with a flashlight and very little build up.
So hoping that the sending unit was the problem once we fire it up again. Will update later.
