I'm betting motor mounts.
Give it gas in gear while holding the brakes.
Give it gas, let off, give it gas and I'll betcha the motor lifts and drops about two inches on the drivers side.

thats a super clean little dart you got there. if its running and driving fine , i wouldnt worry about it. it may be the air cleaner thats a little off. i would be a little more worried about the plastic filter you have so close to the manifold. that could be part of your hot fuel vapor lock issue

They don't melt do they? The part guy said it won't.

ohhhh yes they can .... i have seen it. horror stories. i use one too , but i keep it way away from anything hot. 99% of those parts guys dont have first hand experience. if you must keep your line right there, get you a good metal filter. there are threads here on re-routing your fuel line to keep it away from the direct heat, i will see if i can find one.

Fire possibility.... Yes. Heat from the manifold could cause the fuel to boil and cause the car to stall or to be hard to start after just stopping.

My main problems are some times it bogs when I step on it too fast and fuel vapour smell on shutdown from the snorkel.

Exactly.

Isn't it also possible that the carb being off balance could cause that as well by messing with the floats?

you ever drive on a hill?
