Wrap your metal fuel lines in a little larger rubber hoses and the heat will not heat up the fuel and vapor lock. All of my metal lines are done this way and I live in real heat. It has been in the 113's lately and has been cool as it normally has hit at least 122 by now. We are truly having a cool Summer and I drive a lot and with the air on in my 61 Imperial, towing trailers. I also run a 28 inch wide radiator instead of the 18 inch the factory had in it. joe machado? I am leaving again for 3 days. I just got back two weeks ago from a towing trip around the country of 8,206 miles with zero problems.

Well I took the hood off my car. That settled the underhood heat issue. 
It runs almost cold now. Engine heat is not an issue and the carbs are 
very cool. The fuel line is a little hot but should be OK. 

I let it idle a long time to give it a good test. Everything nice and 
cool. Then I took it for a drive. I went to NAPA. Then was headed down 
the street to Office Depot. It died on me as I was taking off from a 
stop light in a big intersection (132/L). Luckily I coasted across. It 
would not fire. It set about 2 minutes (felt like a loooong time) and 
then it did fire up. Then after I got it going again it started breaking 
up on me again. Popping and sputting. I know that ignition is OK now. 
The heat isn't a big deal either. I believe now that the carbs may be 
slopping too much gas in the manifold. I did see some laying in the 
plenum before. I'll go back in and rethink the set-up again. Firstly I'm 
going to reduce the accel pump nozzles back to where they were. I'll get 
this licked yet !!!!
