Re: '66 K20 - Project Old Blue???

I spent a couple of weeks going through the truck to get it road worthy. I had made several 10 mile loops through the country side by the time I felt comfortable driving it to town. On my first drive to town the dang 'hot' light came on so I had to ride the strap back home behind a friends Dodge. I mentioned this fiasco to my father and he said that the 'hot' light had never come on in the past, but he also never drove it when it was 100°.

The truck still has the Harrison radiator, so it may need boiled out and refurbished. I also found the thermostat was a 195°. I replaced it with a 180° thermostat since my research led me to believe this was standard issue. I know the truck isn't running lean, but I do want to verify the timing isn't too far advanced.
