Help on fixing a vapor lock!!!
Some vapor in the top of the fuel filter is normal, but should not fill the whole thing!
Tilt the filter up so it bups out like Chrysler started doing in '63
Carburetion and Performance Diagnosis (Session 188) from the Master Technician's Service Conference
Changes in fuel, the need to run hotter idle temps, and the vapor controls sometimes called for additional measures.
Some car/engine combos got a special fuel pump with a small internal bypass.
Techs in '72 were reminded they could use the external bypass kit for cars without the special pump that had hot start flooding.

Long runs of rubber hose are never good.
Full choke when you set it by moving the throttle before starting.
Qualified when the flap opens slightly with engine starting. Vacuum from engine is used to open it to this position.
Opening as the bi-metal coil heats up,. In '73 assisted by an electric heater when temperatures are above 60 F.
As far as the 'new and improved' flat needle and seat, that's some SSS.
