RE: overheating in my '59 Galaxie

Check timing marks on damper. It may have moved or could be the wrong unit. Attatch a degree wheel to it and make up a positive stop with a short length of round steel (rounded at the end) welded in an old spark plug and find true TDC as you would when degreeing a cam. This happened to me a few years back on a 390 I had bought. The ring had moved or the unit was incorrect so what I thought was 10deg BTDC was actually about 4. Good luck.
