still haveing problems :(

[68_stanger]

Well you may recall my other post about my 68 that has a hot start problem. I bought a phenolic spacer and that didn't help, I bought a electronic igition that I was gonna buy anyways, and it helped but the problem still exists. I do have a couple questions regaurding this issue.
1) I am running a serpentine setup with a reverse flow pump. Is there anything else that should be changed to do this or just the water pump?
2) The radiator that Im running is a direct replacement for the orginal would an aluminun radiator help this the car and me keep our cool?
3) How cold of a thermostat can/should I run?
Thanks
