I recall that any old car my dad from the 1930's and 40's especially Ford V-8's all vapor locked at some point in very hot temperature so I think it was a common problem. I remember wrapping tin foil around the gas lines as a remedy but it wasn't very effective but seemed to help. My 47 Packard has not had a problem with it. I have an inline pulse type electric pump but have never had to use it for vapour lock yet.
