Hello, I have a 1995 Mustang GT 5.0,
I just rebuilt my engine I installed a E303 cam, Elderbrock heads with full roller rockers.
I need a good timing set for my engine. I tried 38 & 29 degrees but my engine still running hot. Need help

Factory base timing is 10 degrees btdc. I think you are setting your timing wrong. You adjust these cars with base timing, not total timing. Did you watch some boomer video on how to set ignition timing on a carb car with a vacuum advance on youtube?

Hello again, I installed a E303 cam & Elerbrock Aluminum Heads with a full roller setup, my question is ,Will the stock Radiator work with this setup?

Depends on the condition of the radiator. Is it clean and the fins in hood shape? Or gunked up? A 30 year old radiator can be anything in the range of excellent condition, to clogged up.

More HP does generate more heat.
