Well I had that vapor lock problem we've talked about on here before. Well I put on an electric fuel pump and just knew that would fix it .. and it was better, maybe, but just like last year during a cruise up and down main street as soon as the heat gauge hit 190 she conked out again. Let her coast to a parking lot and sat there about 10 minutes and she fired right up .. she spit and sputtered a bit and I turned the electric fuel pump on and she ran fine but I headed out of town and the temp came below 190 (usually runs about 160). Now I'm right back where I started. I think my next move is to block off he heat risers under the manifold. I have a 1" plastic spacer under the carburetor. I may replace that with a 1/2" aluminum one... Am grabbin' straws now ... Any ideas?
