Looking for advise on what could be causes and fixes to running hot/overheating. Just finishing up last details and starting to drive 6S1164 after restoring it and have run into a problem. The car is running hot when I drive it. Takes about five to ten minutes of driving around and engine temp on the gauge has the needle running at the middle to far right of the "M" and up towards the "P". When shot with a heat gun reads about 200 on the water pump and around 210 on the front of the heads. When I stop and shut car off pushes a little coolant out, about half a cup or so. The engine has been completely rebuilt to stock specs, has a 160 degree thermostat, has original radiator that had to be re-cored, along with the heater core, correct hi-po water pump and original aluminum 4 blade fan and re-pop fan shroud. It also has an original rebuilt C6ZF-F flat top autolite carburetor. Timing is actually set 2 degrees retarded for stock specs and running a pertronix electronic ignition. I am running Evans Waterless Coolant.
If anyone has any advise it will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Jason
