Re: Distributor?

I had to replace a broken valve spring last summer. It ran hot as the weather climbed, but had more power than ever at high RPMS. While taking it to the radiator shop for a flush job it overheated on the way there. I pulled over let it cool down and drove straight there. Thats when the problem started. I did not drive it hot. As soon as the gage went up I stoped.
I've checked plugs (new) - wires - carb - points - condenser - coil (looks)new - New Optima battery - new flex fan - compression is good - timing as close as I can get it without scope - electric fuel pump with gage steady at 4 to 4.5 pounds pressure. I did have to free up the heat riser, it was rusted in the closed position. I'm out of ideas. I'll check for play in distributor in morning - there is no tag on it.
Thanks guys
