29 Guy -- I saw your video on Youtube and noticed you have engine splashers installed. Would removing them help dissipate the heat? I realize heat rises, but perhaps opening that up will help with keeping things a little cooler?
Those videos were done by Corky before he brought the car down here for me. Yes, both of the shields under the engine are in place and I'd thought of that, but, given where the carb is and how filthy and wet it is down here, and seriously, the astonishing amount of bugs we have flying around (no kidding), I thought it wiser to leave them in place. Without an air cleaner and not much way to fit one on there, heaven only knows what all the carb would suck into its mouth!
Thanks for the suggestion, I think taking them off would definitely help with vapor lock, but, I'd likely end up sucking endless amounts of trash and horse flys into the carb!
