I'm still working on my overheating problem. Removed radiator (which I discovered has a couple of small leaks) will take it to repair shop.
My question is I replaced the intake/exhaust manifold right before the overheat problem. The new manifold is slightly different from the old one in that, on the old one the intake is straight horizontally. The new manifold has slight elevations that appear to have been designed to give more clearance for access to the carburator. It all bolted on fine but I'm wondering if it's possible that the difference in air flow would affect the engine temp.
Based on all of you guys help I have flushed the block and tested the thermostat and after removing and inspecting the radiator am leaning towards the radiator being the culprit. It needs some repair as it is so it's going in but I'm just wondering about the manifold.
Thanks again for all of your help, I'm learning much from you guys and really appreciate all of the advice.
