The techs at work agreed, a lean condition would create heat (red hot condition) before a rich one ever would. Start running 92+ in that car to see if it helps. If not, retard the timing some and have someone knowledgeable with a timing light help. It won't run as strong but it'll be safer and you'll be able to extend the life of your motor. If it's possible, put a logger on it, I'd be willing to bet he's got plenty of knock.
