Was having the "hots" as well (would overheat in 10-15 minutes and run past center on the gauge... until, over the weekend when I finally started tracing down vacuum problems...and discovered that the vacuum advance on the "Retard" side was dead to the world...so it was running "advanced" ALL the time which would explain why it was overheating. I'd disconnect the vacuum hoses, set the timing, hook them back up and it'd run hot...was really P!ssin me off, tried everything I could think of, new thermostat, temp sensor, plug wires and plugs, disconnecting vacuum lines and on and on...next was actually doing the vacuum gage test on the advance module and VIOLA! SUCCESS!! Mine has the dual vacuum ports and it was about $45 at Advanced Auto...could you be having the same problem?? Just sayin....
