I imagine it would if left idling long enough, but I haven't tested it. What would that indicate if it did overheat at idle? Fan works great, sucks cloth from the grille no problem.

Pretty sure I wouldn't have been able to seat the distributor if the backwards "D" wasn't lined up correctly. I took my time getting the distributor to seat, pretty sure its not the distributor.

Doesn't make sense to me either. Coolant gauge never went above 1/4 and it would typically sit just below 1/2. And everything except the lower radiator hose gets hotter than it did before all this. ...
