engine is original (302) but I replaced the EFI with edlebrook carb - bore not changed. Problem did not occur until new carbs installed. Temp on motorway runs just right (about 70c) as does the rest of the car but at a standstill runs well into 115 / 120c. Not sure what the dist. timing is but yes has a vacuum advance. all gaskets seem fine (and would expect that to cause problems constantly rather than just at a standstill.
