vapor lock

By Dave - 09/08/2003 12:32:39 PM; IP 209.251.115.194

I have a 69 GT500 that runs great until I drive 20/ 30 minutes and the carb gets heat soaked and won't idle, is very hard to re-start. I know I could run a cooler can for the gas line but it's a show car and I need to keep it original looking. Any advice on carb spacers (has to be same thickness as original so the ram air seal still fits).Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

This thread, so far...

Yes - fuel inlet tube should be kept short, straight & elevated. [n/m] -- Mr F, 09/18/2003
