word. I put it all back together and still overheating with the oil light coming on the same as before and no power at mid to high rpms. i'm thinkin maybe timing too far advanced and idle mixture too low plus something with the oiling system ... I will have to figure this out later.


That's the first mention of overheating, IIRC. An overheated engine can get low oil pressure, just from the extra heat in the oil.

How hot is the engine getting? Is coolant boiling out or is the gauge just getting near the high end of the scale?
