Vapor Lock On A Beautiful NW Summer Day

Since you’re talking about heat affecting fuel delivery and vapor locks. Living here in SoCal can during the hot summer mo. give us those triple digit days we’ve heard of. I tried to keep travel to and from car gatherings down to a soft roar, especially with black interiors and no A/C. I noticed the under hood temps can be really hot. My fuel line does route to the front of the engine across top of water pump with a clip. Adding Hooker headers the 3 into 1 asphalt dragger type. And a Super Six set-up. The steel tube headers create a lot of under hood heat so, fuel surging and intermittent vapor locks occurred. I picked up some 1/8” T6 aluminum cut out a spacer to go under carb with cut out for throttle travel and over toward valve cover. Mounted using 2 of the thick carb gaskets one above and one below spacer. Toward front of spacer I had a Pentastar ball milled into the metal and then had it polished which matches chrome valve cover. Did cut down amount of heat traveling upwards under carb.
