Well we changed out the radiator for one with extra cores. We also swaped out the original TC 4 blade metal fan for a 7 blade plastic fan from an MGB. This also fixed the misalignment of the top radiator hose with the retrun opening on the radiator.
TO test the car I took it out for a drive last night. The air temprature was 98 degrees. Even in the shade it was hot.
I could not believe it. The temp never rose above the center of the normal range on my Boyce temp guage. In the past I would not even think about starting the car on a day that hot, let alone take it for a 12 mile drive. I had to stop at three traffic lights for an extended period and the car still did not over heat. So I am now confident that the general heating problem is solved.
This leavs only the heat getting to the carbs and vaporlocking the system to work on. And I think I have the solution of the as well. We will soon know.
