If the car is staying above ~80C (or close to it), the t-stat is probably fine. Much more likely that you have a problem with the ACC system, specifically the monovalve. Anything over 60C on the gauge (assuming the gauge is accurate) will give you decent heat. Your pushbutton unit is also suspect, at 20 years old they really start to get flaky. I just had to replace that in my '84, along with the defrost flap & center vent vacuum actuators. I did the monovalve back when I bought the car (the diaphragm was torn - yours probably is too, if original). The system works *much* better now.
