Re: Better cooling

Your symptoms suggest a problem with your distributor vacuum advance unit
(or even the mechanical weights).
My old MGA with the same B engine and B rear axle had no problems in
California's heat. If the engine is getting insufficient advance at steady
high speeds, it will run hotter than it should.
