Guy,
I tested the thermostat, it opens fine. On advice, I removed the thermostat
& ran the Roadster; it took about 10 minutes to hit about 220. I'm going to
work on the timing again (I did it once already, shortly before parking it a
few weeks ago.) Up until now, we had finally gotten the previous overheating
problems taken care of by distributor replacement & timing. Hopefully we can
get something done again... as you know it is perfect weather here for
top-down driving!

Greetinngs,
I don't think so. I suspect that Mike was correct. The first thing I
would do is remove the thermostat and test it. You can test it by
simply placing the current unit in a pot of boiling water. If the
thermostat is closed the hot water should cause it to open. A simple
item can cause big problems. Last summer, I had one go bad on my 2000
Explorer. Nasty experience.
