My thermostat is not installed, but what I did was remove the flaps  from
the fan housing.  Although not stock, this should not  pose  an overheating
problem, right?
 
 
While it won't cause an overheating issue, it does delay warm up. That  
delay can cause extra wear on the cylinders and engine rings, as the engine  
WILL run richer longer until it finally gets up to engine temp (operating  
temperature). This accelerates wear.  

I can't help you on the timing issue, as I've never delt with a 72 only  
set up. Dave Pallo is the 72 guy to talk to here, as that's what he owns. He  
probably has a specific way to go about it, and could tell you if the 
symptoms  you're having are normal. But, replacing the small diameter hoses 
couldn't  hurt, especially if they're as old as you think they are. ;-)
