ok..going for the manifold vacuum to see if it helps lower temp, as stated in the post/paste above,,
Vacuum from the port at idle measured 15hg,
idle static(no manifold) timing 10 degrees adv,
idle static + manifold 26 degrees,
2500 rpm static 34 degrees,
3500 rpm static 36 degrees,
2500 rpm static + manifold (cruise) 52 degrees,
...sucking on the advance pot at idle I could pull an additional 20 degrees,,
I drove the car around,it ran well never got above 197, but I spent more time testing the forward motion instead of traffic,,I'll drive this morning and see some more,,
