Thanks to all for their comments. Have had the same problem with my 32 Ford with stock 34 85HP v8. I fixed it with a elec pump under the frame and only have to hit it when the dreaded VP surfaces. As stated earler, have wraped exhaust header, sediment bowl and gas line to carb. Am going to fab a metal baffle between the Univac and exhaust manifold and do the keros. thing on our next long run coming up in May. I can remember even with real gas having VP problems on a 49 Olds back in the late fifties. With what we have now, more drastic measures must be taken.
