Well I just went out and, just as a quick test, loosened the distributor on
the 3GT and moved it a bit while it was running. I noticed that the car
smoothed out significantly in one spot so I tightened it down there. I let
it run for a few minutes and the temp gauge did not move at all. So, feeling
cocky, I took it out for a spin. Well after running the circuit up and down
my road, the same run that caused it to spout like old faithful, I pulled
back in my driveway. The temp gauge had moved upwards buy about 1/2 of a
needles width! That is some difference. From 220 degrees down to 120 degrees
with just a few degrees of timing. Thanks to all who contributed. It looks
like I may get some driving in this fall!
