overheating problem

ok guys. can not figure out for the life of me what is up with the bird now.

its overheating with no problem. loses a bit of power at random times, ac blows warm when you start driving from a stop like a red light. yesterday it peaked at 260 degrees. oils fine, coolant is in there, fans on new water pump and thermostat. not leaking anything.

my biggest fear is head gasket. but tell me what you guys think.

and what is arc? i had a snapped fuse at that port and put another fuse in and haven't seen a difference anywhere.

90 5.7 tpi stock auto

thanks guys
