James, the Corvette folks I deal with use those spacers with good results.

The problem does not happen in my garage in San Francisco. Of course, the temp there is between 60F and 65F 99% of the year. In Winters when it gets over about 85F I notice it.

My understanding of percolation is boiling fuel bubbling out into the throttle bores after hot shutdown, flooding the engine and causing a hard hot restart. Is that your experience?
Any pre-emission V8 parked hot in a sealed garage will smell of fuel for several days or as long as it takes for the bowls to dry out.

-----Original Message----- Hi All,
In San Francisco it has never been an issue with fuel perk on shutdown. Too cool 99% of the time. However, at our Winters house, in the Sacramento valley, when I park the car in the garage and close it up, I can smell the gas for a couple of hours.
Has anyone had any luck using a something like this:
Thanks, James
PS, I do plan on sleeving all the steel fuel lines from the frame rail up to the fuel pump and carb at some point. But that will do little for the perk.
