Again, all my thanks to those that responded to my questions about the
overheating I was experiencing with my BGT.
Installation of one of Jeff's rebuilt distributors, removal of the front
mounted electric fan, and installation of an NOS fan and a 165 degree
thermostat, oh, and setting the timing at 15 BTDC at 1500 RPM have transformed
the car.
It cruises nicely at 65 mph on the commute and in 25+ miles, never got above
about 175 on the aftermaret temp guage. I'll probably run the guage for
awhile and then replace it with an original CNH.
Looks like I'm fixed for a while.
Regards,

As he stared at her ample bosom, he daydreamed of the dual Skinners Union
carburetors in his vintage MG, highly functional yet pleasingly formed,
perched prominently on top of the intake manifold, aching for experienced
hands,
the small knurled caps of the oil dampeners begging to be inspected and
adjusted as
described in chapter seven of the Haynes shop manual.
