Ive got a 66 mustang with two barrel carb 302, im not sure of the year as i was not the one who did the swap but my car seems to be overheating. As soon as my temperature gauge gets up to 200 degrees my engine will shut off and i wont be able to start it back up again until it cools off a bit, it will turn over but it just wont run.
Ive installed a fan shroud and that helped but only increased the time it took to overheat, ive installed a new radiator and fan blade but it made no difference.
im thinking its the timing because its advanced about 25 to 30 degrees and should be around 10 but everytime i try to retard it, it starts to backfire, make weird noises, and sometimes takes longer to start or even not at all.
Anyone have any ideas as to why im over heating or why i cant retard the timing. Thanks, any help is appreciated!!!
