Generally speaking, an engine idling thru a parade will never overheat, -even when the spark lever is retarded. So since yours was at 8° before, it should have made it through a Christmas parade without overheating, -even idling for 2 hours.
It wasn't overfull before the parade and I added at least 2 gallons after it blew out.

Good to know that base timing is ok as long as max advance is 28°

Thanks,
