Insulator block and heat shield for sure, however, me thinks there is a bigger problem. Why is the intake/carb getting so hot? Me thinks the flap in the exhaust manifold is stuck in the closed position. I'll bet the car runs rich as soon as it warms up....right? Also to a lesser extent, make sure the choke isn't closing when you shut it down, that'll trap heat in the carburetor as well.
