Great replies!!Thank you.Distributor had 8 degrees in dwell variation on acceleration due to worn shaft bush.Plus new condenser was intermittently defective.Fix was a Petronix ignition conversion plus a new coil.I bumped the timing up 10 degrees and car maintains a 90 to 95 temp as long as it doesn'...
