Re: Anybody got the end all cure for vapor locking?

I currently have 2 running Packards here in Phoenix, Arizona, a 1955 Clipper Custom and a 1940 160 Sedan. I have mechanical fuel pumps on both cars. Near the gas tank, I have electrical fuel pumps. In the winter I drive without the electrical fuel pump on. In the summer, I only turn on the electric fuel pump when the car is bucking, like it's out of gas. I do drive in temperatures of over 100F. I know, no AC, and my wife won't be in the car. On the freeway is where I have most of the problem, until I turn on the electric fuel pump. This is my end all cure for vapor locking. I have over 70,000 miles on this set up so I know it works.
Good luck finding yours.
