I have had a problem with running hot, not overheating for some time, Ford 302 in a TR3A. When I got the new engine in a year ago I had problems getting the temp down and the headers where turning red hot. Also, my liquid filled fuel preasure guage would not function right when hot. I changed the fuel preasure guage to a non liquid filled and adjusted my fuel preasure correctly and that made a huge improvement in the way the engine ran. However, it still ran at a higher temp.

This weekend I changed jets in my Holley 600 by one size. The engine immediately improved. It relaxed. The operating temp came down ten degrees.
