Don, check the vacuum can on the distributor. Blow into it and see if you can hear air going thru it. I say it's the one thing nobody takes a look at to see if it's working or not. As you know it will affect your timing and cause overheating.

I just found out lastnight that mine is shot. Everything else checks ok for my cooling system, so hopefully replacing it will help my overheating problem... again.
