Re: vapor lock



It was used often in the old days.  I've done it.  I don't know if it works that well but can't hurt either.  I did it on LeRoar and wrote "street", " race" and "full race" on the clothes pins  :-)  I'm sure that helped????

What would wood or plastic clothespins do?  I've seen foil like a bow tie, but that's it.

electric pump will stop it.
Have you tried lining up six or seven clothespins on the line , just before the carb?
That was an old racers trick, rarely seen today.

  I seem to have a problem with my car vapor locking. It's a 1962 Dart 440 with a 440 and auto trans. It runs fine when it's cold but when it
warms up it will act like it ran out of gas. I've tryed to rerun the fuel lines out of the way of anything that gets hot. I'm running a aluminum
fuel filter and lines. Would a electric fuel pump stop this or is there another way.
  Thanks
