Glad to hear you like it, they're amazing cars to be sure .

RE : new monovalve, install the new one and leave it unplugged, you should have more heat than you can stand .

If not, maybe the 'stack' in it isn't correctly assembled, I mis assembled mine once and had weird heat until I fixed it .

Failing that, can't you use the new diaphragm in the old valve body ? .

Dies it smoke at all with that much enrichment ? . 1/16 of a turn is a lot, the ALDA is very sensitive if everything else is good .

By pass the aux. water pump for now to prevent and bottle neck in the coolant circulation .

The armature end of it has a delicate, crumbly white plastic cap you're supposed to remove occasionally and dribble one or two drops of light machine oil into, I've resurrected quite a few of them from junkyards .
