Slant 6 overheating

[Bill Provins <wiilbill66@xxxxxxx>]

I hope I can get some help from someone out there. I have a 63 330 with the  
Slant 6 that overheats when I drive it more than 10 minutes. It does OK when  
idling at the curb, but if I drive it, it overheats. There is no shroud, and 
it  has a rigid mount four blade fan. I tried adjusting the timing by ear, 
can't  find my timing light, and it only runs smooth with the distributor rotated 
all  the way clockwise. It barely smokes so I don't think the motor is that 
bad.  Could the timing chain have possible skipped a tooth, and cause the timing 
to  not be where it needs to be? I've only had the car since Jan, and don't 
know  much about the Slant 6. My first one.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. 
Thanks,
Bill
