jim;
My SA stroker ran hot initially also.

It ended when I did a good burping with nose "uphilll" and fixed the distributor they provided. you need about 36 deg total and AT LEAST 15 initial. The carb will not function properly with 9 deg initial with any type of cam in it. Now mine runs a little cool and I only use the fan when idling in garage or are in stop and go traffic
