<VV> Is ChaZ overheating?

Wait, on second thought:

Pinging + starter has trouble cranking the engine?

Sounds like the timing is off.  If the car has points, do a static timing check.  If it's electronic, you should be able to get close by turning the crank with a wrench to see where it fires.

Check with the club and see, maybe the easiest way.  The other way is to try a rebuild shop - there are still a few around.  The guts are standard Chevy from the 60s - 70s, such a shop can likely take care of it for you.
