Heat soak? Edelbrock carb & air gap

I fixed my heat problems with a spacer, aluminum heat shield, and a return line. I made the return line using a NAPA 3054 fuel filter that has a small orifice outlet that I hooked up to the line that was in the engine bay, previously used for the vapor cannister. This allows for the fuel to be constantly circulating and prevent vapor build up. I also insulated the fuel line coming from the mechanical pump and routed it away from heat the best I could.
