It's not his thermostat. I'm sure of that.

Could be it is not opening all the way causing the temp to run hot. Using
the heater as a mini radiator helps to lower the temp. Of course that would
also work if the radiator was partially blocked.

at that age,it's certainly suspect.
Besides,just how much heat can the heater core dissipate,if it cools down
his motor? Maybe he's got a worn water pump too.

Heater core flow is completely independent of the thermostat.

Inlet flow is from the head's outlet end, and outlet flow is downstream of
the thermostat. In other words, the same circulation feeds the heater core
that occurs in the head/block due to the thermostat bypass when the
thermostat is closed.
