also it seemed to of started when i put the correct peice of tin on the rear
of the motor and put thehose that goes from the oil bath filter down to by
the heat exchanger. could hot air comming in from that hose cause it to run
hotter? like a detonation kinda thing?

I agree, I would check the timing more than anything. Also check to make sure a cleaning rag didn't get sucked into the fan. I have never heard of having the windows open having anything to do with engine temp. Did you get the distributor and distributor drive installed correctly?

I suggest a tuning problem, assuming all your tin is there. Adjust your valves, check your timing, points, etc.
