Re: over heating
On my un-modified 1929 Tudor I have had problems over the years when the timing was off or I ran it to lean or the points were to close or I filled the radiator to full and somtimes all of the above. I'm assuming that you are an old timer with Model As so I'm sure I'm no help but maybe this will set some of the other guys to thinking. Good luck!

Re: over heating
Check the timing first. If that's OK, then make sure the head gasket is OK and not blowing into the coolant. 10 minutes at idle is pretty quick to overheat, so it would most likely be one of these two. The next choice would be a really plugged radiator or block.
