Hi Don,

Yes, I have this exact heat shield in place under the carb. I have a couple of clear fuel filters inline and there is no bubbling going on and my electric fuel pump is at the back of the car just in front of the fuel tank. I have the fuel line routed away from the block and up to a pressure regulator mounted on the firewall, so the line going from there to the carb is plenty far away from the heat of the manifold/engine.

The Flackmaster had mentioned a heat spacer between the carb and the manifold which I did not have so made a 'stack of gaskets'(which I was told was acceptable) to create an insulating spacer and yes, I have tightened them securely and re-snugged them once the engine warmed up and they are not leaking.
