Timing seems to like to run best at 2 1/2 BTDC.

Also I would check the Rad again. Check it for hot and cold spots after you 
have been running it for awhile. Just run your hand over the surface of the 
rad to see if the thing is hot or has cold spots in it. If you have cold 
spots then you have a plugged rad. Did you check timing?

Mike,
Couple questions..are you using a after market temp gauge or just the 
original dash gauge? I would verify the temp with a good gauge....I remember 
last summer we fixed my buddies Chevy overheating problems by trashing the 
cheap aftermarket gauge replacing with a autometer gauge.
Change the fan to a 6 blade...used in AC cars
I would not think u would need a shroud on a /6 with no air.
Radiators get price scary. You can almost get a custom built aluminum 
radiator for a copper core rebuild.
