It needs a lot more timing than you have now. Look for more like 36+ total.
Helps that I have 4:10 gears with a 2200 stall.
Timing is the main thing.
It would start to run hot on long trips in the summer with the timing set to where factory says.

Might have to get a timing tape. Where do you have your initial timing set at?
Also are you running manifold or timed vac to the dist?
