Correction Over Heating issue with Daily Driver, 1971 with 73 1.7 and Side Shift Options

[falconfp2001]

About a month ago my Driver started running badly just out of the blue. So, I parked it on the Drive way and attempted to trouble shoot the issue. I came up with nothing and seemed to make it worse. I broke down and had it towed to my trusted mechanic and a few days later he had it running good and called for me to pick it up.

While paying for the work, he informed me that my car was running a (CORRECTION) little Lean so he adjusted it for me.

Since it is a daily driver I've never had problems driving my stop and go commute until now. The car seems to start heating up the longer I stay in stop and go traffic and my gas mileage is not what it used to be. By the time I get to work in about an hour my engine seems to be running at barely 500 rpms instead of bouncing between 900 and 1K.

I think he adjusted the fuel pressure to high and I'm slowly flooding as the longer I drive not the longer distance I drive. I also think that stop and go traffic increases the flooding as I'm constantly stepping on the peddle.

Any thoughts?
