Re: Over Heating

You didn't mention the water distribution tube. Besides checking all the cooling system, check the ignition timing. A retarded timing will contribute to overheating. Also, make sure the vacuum advance chamber is sound and holding vacuum. A leaking chamber will result in a lean mixture and retarded timing. One other thing to check is the manifold heat control valve. A valve that is stuck shut will cause all kinds of running problems. Good luck.

...and one more thing, does it have the 5-bladed fan? Some say over heating when running - radiator, over heating when idling - fan.
