[QUOTE="grcthird, post: 659929, member: 1181"] The position of the properly timed distributor when it fired with the points is going to be different than it will with the pertronix setup. Been down that road more than once and it can be aggravating as hell to get set up right. You may have a leaking exhaust valve or seat or burned valve causing the higher temps on those 2 cylinders that could be contributing to the overheating. Possibly could have burned them when the timing was way out. But I would think it would have some sort of a misfire, running rough, or some other symptom. That's getting kinda thin and grasping straws, worst case type of stuff... [/QUOTE]
