Mark---One thing often overlooked when experiencing overheating, is the
radiator pressure cap.

Oil coolers aren't needed for most street engines. I doubt if one would
help in your case.

As others mentioned, check the "real" temp, including the voltage
compensator (if the fuel gauge also climbs)

You mentioned that you've checked the ignition timing. Worth another
look? Lots has been written about how the retard affects engine heat at
idle.

Is your engine "stock"?
