I had a problem of overheating similar to yours several years ago.When i asked around i found many suggestions for my problem none of which wasthe answer.I had the rad cleaned and checked,the water pump rebuilt and checked the timing.
Then i noticed the springs on the spark advance rod (between steering post and distributor) were weak.I replaced this rod
and haven't had a problem since.
Good luck Jack
