Engine overheating

casheww13 · Sep 20, 2022

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?

Short version, works the same on a 95 mustang.

The timing may not be the reason for the over heating issue but setting the timing correctly will eliminate it as a reason.

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?

If it worked before, it will now.

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.

Apparently my ex-husband made that mistake.

I think they're a little easier to get off

That is…until I whipped out my Bissell
