Default overheating

hey waz will put the 1 inch hole restrictor in today. am going to race on sunday and will hopefully have a change in temp with all the little). things i have changed.. with the 3/4 inch restrictor water comes out the top of the radiator cores and into the tank(by rad cap at a steady stream(hose like appearance) stream has about a 3/16-1/4 inch diameter. thiis makes me believe the water pump is working OK. any other suggestions i will try them. i took my carb off and checked the jets(its a 750 cfm carb) and it was real bad. the front jets were only 70s with a 6.5 power valve and 80s in rear with no PV. they are now 80 with NOpv in front and 84 with no pv in rear. this should definitely give a little brown color to the spark plugs. they were firing pearly white and probably helping the car to run hot(its an almost 600 HP 377 sbc). thanks for the help you all are giving me art
