460 Cooling problem. Is it normal???

i recently picked up a '79 bronco. I thought it was running a little warm. On the "A" in normal on the gauge. When i went to replace the thermostat, there was uite a bit of pressure on the blockside of the therm. is this normaL? i also noticed no fan shroud so i will get that replaced ASAP. But the block coolant pressure concerns me a little. Any ideas??

Thanks
AO

Maybe buy a flush kit and flush it for awhile. Could be gummed up from not being flushed regularly.
