When all else fails, think of this- a Nor-Cal member had exactly the same

problem. We eventually found two problems. -1- he was running 44 degrees of

advance total; 38 is the absolute max any 351C needs or wants. -2- the solder

joints on his radiator cooling fins had de-bonded from smog or exhaust fumes.

Run a pencil eraser across the front of the radiator; if gray dust flies out,

your fins have debonded and you need a new radiator. By the way, be like the

President- don't inhale. That dust is lead oxide! This is also a possibility

for air conditioners that just won't cool. Check the rear condenser the same

way. Good luck-J DeRyke
