Another Slant back from the dead

TXDart said

You need to move that factory fuel line away from the exhaust manifold and over the valve cover to eliminate vapor lock ,follow the fuel line from the fuel filter and you will see how that line goes around the front of the motor very close to the exhaust manifold.
That is one sweet /6.Keep it in there,you can hop up that six.

Thanks TXDart. I have read about that issue and plan on doing something similar to memike's fuel line routing. I still haven't taken the car out to really "stretch its legs" but believe me, if there is an issue with vapor lock it will rear its ugly head in this Miami heat.

I have a few other little gremlins to work out and then the slant should run like a clock. I'm a bit ashamed to admit I've owned a couple of these old A's in the past and the first thing we always did with the Slant 6 was to extricate it from the engine compartment and throw it in the corner of the garage to make room for a small block. I definitely have a new appreciation for the /6 now.
