As the radiators on these cars get older the temps tend to rise a bit. They should run at 80C give or take a bit.

You should remove and clean the radiator, the finns are probably clogged with junk. If that doesn't do it replace it.

The overheating under heavy load is a clue that the radiator is marginal.
