With regard to the overheating problem at the beginning of this thread.
My motor was also rebuilt ('52 327)...the distribution tube was clean..the water pump and radiator new and all specs were adhered to and still it overheated (boiled over).
I retourqued the head to as tight as I could with a 1/2" ratchet and the problem was solved. An old timer told me they used to do it with an impact! (following the proper sequence of course)
It worked for me...good luck!
