somthing that have helped me in the past is to drill a couple of 1/4 inch holes on the flat brass part of the thermostat it helps alot for some reason... and by over heating do you mean boil?? or above 160??

lastly, are you sure that the head gasket isnt plugging any of the steamholes in the block? and are there steamholes in the heads as well?? some of the siamese bore blocks are alittle sensitive to this, and if you are blowing coolant it could be a steam pocket, not a generalized overheating problem..
===============================
Based on your experience how frequently does this type of problem arise, and why would some have the distributor forzen in one location?

With a hot solid roller cam, vacuum advance is out right? need a mechanical advance.

Thanks,
