  1. Thank you for trying to help me I will double check everything again water temperature does not go up ,its exhaust temperature with the pyrometer goes up extremely fast when it starts to lug down, went up a heat range hotter on the spark plugs haven’t been running it much yet to see if that helps I appreciate the thought have a good day my friend will post when I find a problem

  2. Hi  not so far, I also have a 49 Chevy 4400 series 235 six cylinder and it takes exactly the same rotor cap and button as my Mack ,also the per Tronics was the same as I put in my Chevy . everything else is just Standard  turn signal relays. I changed it over to negative ground from positive and  only had to reverse the wires on the temperature gauge and it still works today , went to a one wire alternator and did away with everything else on the old charging system in 04 and haven’t had a problem with electrical at all .

    • Hi  I thank everybody for the answers .the timing is part of the problem the first time the engine blew I did   Have the timing advance too much the book and I have the original book calls for 2° and that’s what it set for with regular fuel I have a pyrometer on it now to keep an eye on the internal temperature of it but it’s still getting too hot I’ve triple check the Intake for vacuum leaks nothing there in process of drilling out the jets on the carburetor but it’s slow going and with winter I don’t get a chance to run it that much thanks everybody for all the suggestions will keep you informed merry Christmas
