The third or fourth bleed did the trick. I also turned the heater on and off while the car was running between bleeds and that maybe helped. Thank you Mark.

Here's another approach being its still running hot at idle. Is your timing correct, more importantly, are the springs still attached inside of the dist cap or worn out/stretched or weakend by someone, etc. Where does your dist vacuum hose go to. It must be going to a ported vacuum in order to operate correctly at idle.
Let your car idle with the vacuum hose disconnected from the distributor and plug the hose. Give it a bit of idle time before you judge it. See if the temp comes down, or runs where is should. The function of the vacuum hose is to advance the timing a bit to run hot so when idling, it burns off the unwanted gasses. I'm not talking about the advance you need while spinning your engine at 3000 + RPM's. This is for the idle circuit. Can't hurt, give it a try.
