Mick, it sounds like it may be running a bit lean at highway speeds. Take it to a carb overhaul place or somewhere where they have a exhaust analyiser and check what is happening at highway revs. Also a good thing is to put filters in your return radiator hoses to stop any crud getting into the radiator. The timing should be ok where it is.
good luck.

Just a quicky:
If it was the thermostat (not opening, or far enough), I would expect the radiator to be relatively cool.
Simple test, temporarily leave the thermostat out.
Excuse MY ignorance here: this is a flattie? Don't they have two water pumps? If so, is there two thermostats?

I dont think this will be the end of internet hot rodding in australia, just a temporary stop work, something else will turn up, at least I hope , and again I hope its somewhere near as good as this site has been.

[Cool23]

Yeh Flatoz just some time to down tools for a little while.

Dave will have more time on his hands to fix the 40's Brakes and........
well perhaps enough on that.

I am sure Internet sites / Forums will watch and learn from the HRI-BR / ASRF Debarcle and the new site will be bigger and better.

Well,

What can I say, I've been 'off line' for a few weeks, and look what happens when you turn your back....

A mate of mine told me on the ph that this was happening, what a sad day.
