This is why you are getting hot at idle. No vacuum advance and only 5* timing.
I would set your timing to 10/12* and see how it does. I run full vacuum advance which bumps my initial timing of 10* significantly higher at idle.
what carb do you have that has no vacuum advance port?

It is a Rochester 2G the previous owner said he swapped his old one out for at a carb shop. I have no idea why but every vacuum port on the carb is sealed with what looks like a small steel ball. It looks professionally done. Why they did that I have no idea. I found one big what appears to be 3/8 that I may be able to use an adapter to make it into a vacuum line
