ranger 2.3 timming question

i have an 87 with a 2.3 4 banger , that i just rebuilt, it has the tfi ignition system, the problem is we cant get the timming right, we used a timming light and set it by the factory settings, it still wont run right, any suggestions on how to get it right? it also wants to over heat.
thanks
