The pointer should point to 6 to 8 degrees before top dead center on the balancer.

Try installing a shutoff valve on the heater hose return line that goes the water pump. This line has hot coolant that bypasses the radiator.

On my 49 Standard Eight, with a 288, I have been fighting an overheat issue as well. Thus far I have replaced the radiator, upper and lower hoses, fan belt, head gasket, installed a 12vdc pusher fan powered by a separate battery, installed a heater hose shutoff valve and an aftermarket temperature gauge. The shutoff valve has made the most improvement in the stop and go traffic temperature readings.
