Fuel lines-vapor lock

66aCUDA said

The "fuel line mod" is a sticky in the engine section over at slantsix.org .
Basics are to move the fuel line from the fuel pump straight up and over the valve cover to about 6 inches from the carb. Then fuel filter. Make sure you leave enough room to get the valve cover off.

I did this mod, and quite honestly. It's about as helpful as balls on a cow, didn't do a thing for me. What I think is needed is a heat shield under the carb, that or install a 1/2" or more spacer under the carb to help cooling. With the crap gas now days, I can see this becomming more of a problem as time goes by.
