MnM,
You are mostly on the right track. Timing doesn't change just because the car sits for a while. Was it right when it was parked? Overheating shouldn't wreck the fan switch. More likely the fan switch was bad and that's why it overheated. Even more likely that a wiring connection corroded while in storage and that effected fan operation. Coolant system clogging is sometimes a problem for cars in storage especially if this car is still running with it's original radiator. Thermostats are sort of a weak link in general but these tend to fail so as to allow full flow. You'll just have to pop off the thermostat housing and see. Flush and replace the coolant and make sure that the fan system is fully functional. Best to do a pressure test to be sure that the cooling system has no leaks too. Once you've done those things you should have a winner. Then you have to cross your fingers and hope that it didn't warp or crack the head when it overheated. Good luck
