After a few weeks away from Roadsters, we set to work undoing some of the
PO's "wiring". The '64 1600 fired right up, and everything electrical that
worked before works now. A new problem arose, however. The engine heats up
very rapidly; within about 10 minutes it gets up to 220 & rising. It didn't
do this before we pulled apart the engine wiring. The radiator holds
vacuum, and the system was recently flushed. We set the timing to 16deg
BTDC (non-smog dist). We suspect the thermostat, but wanted to know other
things to look at.
Thanks in advance,
