I had a very similar problem with my 69 Chevelle. I replaced and flushed everything water related. I even went as far as to replace the radiator, and install an electric pusher fan. Turned out it was the old mechanical advance distributor not advancing on acceleration. At idle it was fine so I never suspected that as a problem. I replaced the old distributor with a new HEI and it fixed the problem.

I had a similar problem with my 66 Mustang. We swapped the radiator out for a thicker one, I think my dad called it a "quad core." Problem was solved.
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
