No need to diagnose anything. If the temp gage doesn't come up to 180 after 20 minutes, bleed the cooling sytem. If you find there is no air in the system, put a new thermostat in.

Looking for flow in the rad is a good way to make sure the water pump is working, but is not an indication of what the thermostat is doing.
There is no doubt in my mind you need a new thermostat.

I drove it for an hour and 20 minutes last night, and the temp never went over 190. Shouldn't this motor be running at 210 or something?

I drove for probably under 10 minutes to get to that temp, but then it never climbed. it stayed steadily below 195 that is for sure.
I guess I never really paid close attention to it in the summer, but I thought it was usually around the 200 mark. It wont even climb to that now.
