Going through it right now, don't ya love the heat. I put some flexible tubing over the fuel hard lines that run above my manifolds (f engine) and so far that is working. Have fun, vapor lock is a bitch, especially when inermittent.

thats what i was going to try, you gotta love it when your climbing and theres 5 or 6 people behind you waiting
Cam.
I have never had any issues, I run a hard line all the way from the tank, The only place I have anything covering the line ir right behind the alt. and I only have a piece of rubber tubing just in case anything mover it wont rub. Are the engine temp's getting high? What kind of spacer do you have between the carb and intake?
Im still using a mech. fuel pump and I have a fuel regulator just before the AFB carb.
Good luck, If you have any other info on exactly what its doing we all may be able to help a bit more.
Have fun

i have an electric fuel pump its right where the hard line ends and then rubber hose to a filter then to the carb, the temps arent getting any hotter than normal and ive done some research and im sure its vapor lock.
