Update 2

Well a little progress today. Then slapped back down to reality. I replaced the exhaust hose with a new one. I checked the impeller for dimples, there were none and te new one I put n a month ago is from MMI. I also put the thermostat back in.

I then installed a diverter valve after the tee on the engine cooling side jacket panel just before the thermostat to divert more cooling water into the engine. Checked for obstructions on the hot end of the coolant manifold and it was clear.
So I started h up and it ran fine but my temperature gauge is broken. Took it for a run and could touc the top of the thermostat the whole time. Seemed like was off to the races then the engine quit and would not restart. Smoke coming from back of engine area and coil was too hot to touch. So......what’s up now.

I did put a new distributor with electronic ignition and this is the first time I ran the engine over 30 minutes. Back to scratching my head.
