I can see the tabs on the head gaskets, so they were assembled correctly.

You still have the LOAD-O-MATIC SYSTEM although with an electronic triggering device. It (triggering device) only replaces IGN POINTS and the LOM SYS is still operational. If it does not operate correctly, the timing will be retarded leading to overheating. That and reduced airflow through the RAD as you have both a pusher electric fan and AC COND in front of it.

Did it overheat before the rebuild?
