Default Overheating

Well, my new Town sedan wants to overheat. Especially if it is over 90 degrees and headed into the sun, under load.

Got home last night from 8 mile trip and it was steaming! Car was sitting 8 years, so I checked the bottom end, Pulled the head and cleaned all carbon out, had the head cleaned, magnafluxd and milled, .010, new head gasket, of course, new points and condenser, rebuilt Distributer, Set the timing, verified full advance travel, went through the Carb, adjusted and running great, had radiator cleaned and repaired., Rebuilt the water pump.

Overheated with a thermostat in, today I took it out, and it didn't overheat, but still seemed pretty warm, Outside temps was about 10 degrees cooler. No brakes dragging. Running out of ideas. My roadster will run in these conditions with no issues at all.
