5/26/2010 HouseCallAutoI see that you posted again and stated that there is no spark. You have a very high probability like greater than 75% that the ignition coil is no good. If you want to raise the probability to greater than 90% then replace the entire distributor assembly which should come with a new coil already installed along with the other components.

5/23/2010 HouseCallAutothere is an unwritten rule. Always replace the thermostat, don't even discuss whether you should. It is a cheap and easily replaced part that will get you to the next phase if it does not solve the overheating. Have you replaced the radiator? How do you know it is a good radiator?
