i had a fourth core put in.
   
  have you used an infrared sensor or are you relying on the gage?

dealing with the rebuild process.

Then a stuck choke was noticed. Choke cable fixed, carb balance verified and 
the idle smoothed right out. 

She is now running better than the she has in years...but still getting too 
hot. This car has been hot blooded for over 20 years so after I verify the 
thermostat is in correctly, I guess I am going to pull the radiator and get it 
cleaned out and maybe another core put in. 

Will these radiators take a fourth core? I think we already have three. 
Hopefully a boil out and a good cooling system enema will solve the heat issue.
