Ok, drained the fluid and it looked fine. Re-checked timing at 10 degrees BTDC. Engine still got way hot. One thing that I'm noticing - the lower radiator hose is not collapsing, but it is also cool enough to touch while the coolant temp is over 200. Is this normal? Could the water pump not be working? Not sure how to check that besides maybe pulling the lower radiator hose and trying to see the impeller turning.
