<VV> overheating problem

[JVHRoberts@aol.com]

Have you checked your ignition advance? If it's really retarded, it'll 
overheat quickly. 
Anyone else have any ideas?

Greetings all,
I'm attempting to get my 66 140 Corsa with 4 bbl street worthy. It has sat 
for several years.
I drove it for the first time to the gas station and back....about a 15 mile 
trek. When I turned it off it was making a boiling sound (like driving 
through 
a puddle and water gets on a hot muffler) I crawled underneath and it sounded 
like the oil was boiling in the oil pan. The temp light did come on briefly 
as I slowed down to make a turn off the highway. I will be removing the top 
shroud to see if any rags or debris is inside. My question is.......is there 
anything else that can cause this?? The fan and  bearing is intact as is the 
idler 
bearing. I removed the heater houses and blocked off the openings with tin. 
The shrouds are intact and both damper doors have been removed. I installed 
new 
o rings and exhaust packings and new dual exhaust pipes and mufflers. I am 
running all new Pertronics 2 ingnition system from the Source....Holley 390 
from 
the Carbmiester...
Also a new rebuilt fuel pump from one of the vendors.....The oil did seem to 
have a gas smell to it...Could it be leaking gas into the oil and that was 
what was boiling?? I have put a lot of money into this car and have only 
driven 
it about 20 miles. Any help will be 
appreciated.......................................Mark Kinnan
