Absolute Frustration on over heat problem. Again. 444-544

Latest road test. Outside temp 109f.I tried to readjust timing like last post said and it placed it at 27. Seemed to run better without the surge but felt it had less power overall. Still dieseled after stopping. I drain and flush radiator out with muratic acid. Held it in te tank for about 4o Minutes. Flushed it out. Radiator is a recored 3 row. Took it out driving for over 30 minutes. After 12 freeway miles the temp was between last line and white area.

When I can on the streets it was closer to the second line and had cooled a bit.

Sitting it approached the white area but just on the edge. No boil over when I got home. Radiator is fine. I think I am looking at water flow, air flow or tuning problems.
