couple of days to the timing story… once in Prescott I checked the timing and
had to reset it… thoughtlessly I didn’t check the dwell/point gap, I just
reset the idle timing. Later it had slipped again the other direction,
and I again reset the timing. I figured my distributor may be worn and
made a note to check things when I get home. Spin forward to this
morning at home, and my point gap was about half what it should be.
Doh! I reset the points and timing, and will fire her up tomorrow.
That may have been the source of the pinging and hard-working, driving up
temps. I’ll be checking on her regularly for this over the next
months. Just in case, I’ll get my spare (unknown condition) distributor
rebuild like new and put that in when done, just to eliminate timing asa
source of heat.</FONT></BLOCKQUOTE>

<DIV>I'm betting this is more likely your source of running hot than anything.
Also keep in mind that if the distributor body moves, the fuel timing will also
move as does the ignition timing.
