Mat, are you sure about the 28 degrees total advance number? Most of us run more than that, say around 35, give or take, and depending on the type of heads. Before I did anything to address the heat, I'd first re-curve the distributor to add 20 degrees on top of the 14 you're running at idle and see if 34 degrees total takes the edge off that overheating.
