Tentatively ALL BETTER!

Aluminum heat shield, 1" phenolic spacer, braided line and insulated wrap (running along the top of the valve cover with a bracket to hold it up and away from some of the heat), new oval air cleaner since the increase in height puts it slightly above the height of the deck, new plugs, timing adjusted, and new heater hose.

She was warm when I picked her up but no problem starting. Took her for a good run in mixed traffic (a fair bit stop and go) and the temp guage was steady at 180. When I parked, I pulled the air cleaner and not a drop of fuel came out of the bleeders, she just sat there quietly. I grabbed the IR gun and the top of the carb read 130, the heads were 220, the secondary temperature gauge crept up slowly toward 200 as the block cooled down, no fuel leaking from anywhere on the carb.

She'll need a few more good runs, but based on what I've seen so far, it looks like she may be fixed.
