I have this 70 with a 302 2v (original) rebuilt about a year ago.
It's been running (no T stat) and driving great for about a year.
Everything is stock.
After installing a new set of plug wires (just because my son wanted blue ones) and a slight adjustment on the distributor I took it for a drive and it ran a little hot.
I parked it, and took it for another drive after about 20 minutes and my #8 exhaust rocker came loose.
Torqued rocker, installed fan shroud, and took it for another drive.
It ran great but when I parked it it started puking coolant.
I did hear the valve train as I was parking so I'm going to say it was getting pretty hot.
Never had any problems with it til about the middle of last week.
