Default overheating

guys. im doing the changes you all talked about. here is something that may be a cause (or )effect) on this overheating. my spark plug electrodes are whiter than your teeth. way too lean. heres my plan for this and i need some jetting advice. im taking off the problem carb which was a worked 750(old style)it may have cosat me my last motor to blow, as it ran too lean and dropped valves. i have a new holley center section i added to a new 750 double pumper and i added the big accelerator pump and bigger squirters and jet extensions with notched bowls.. its strictly a race carb(no streetuse) so NO power valves. the jetting is 82 in the front and 84 in the back. i think this is close, but maybe will be on the lean side with these jets.. i know i can try it like it is, but i want it to be real close the first time and hope the carb and overheating problem is gone on the firsat pass. PS it has air bleeds in it for idle and top end but i did not touch them at all. thanks art
