Thanks,

I did retune the carbs. It was idling a long time while I was doing the 
timing and carbs and it is really hot here today. After the engine 
cooled I noticed that the coolant was low. There may be a small leak 
from a hose clamp somewhere. I had pulled the engine to do the 
transmission swap and maybe the clamps just need to be double checked.

I dialed back the advance slightly and topped it up with water and drove 
it to the muffler place to have the new glasspack installed. No 
overheating on that trip which was about 30 miles roundtrip.

Thanks again,

Robert
