I drained the coolant to replace the hoses while I was waiting for the pump
to be rebuilt. I set the timing on the pump with the $25 dollar tool that
screws in the side of the pump and locks it into position to be put back in
at 15 egrees ATDC. Car runs fine and quiet until it overheats which does
not occur rapidly. I guess I should pull the head?

Several possibilities here.
One, if you drained the coolant you didn't get enough in there before
you started it (although I don't know off the top of my head why you
would have).
If the temp gauge was in the red, very likely the head itself is
cracked, not just the gasket.
How did you set the timing for the IP? Grossly advanced timing will
cause severe overheating.
