I may have solved the fuel draining problem without adding or replacing a flow-valve. There is some weeping from the carb, but I don't think it's enough to dry out overnight. I've found a conventional air filter that will fit inside the stock air cleaner base. Just had to fabricate a lid for it since I didn't have an original and didn't want to alter one. The filter I found is the right diameter but just a bit high. After install, I started the car and let it run then shut it down for the night. I went out this afternoon and tried it and the car fired right up. Also took it for a good ride through town and temps stay right on the 3/4 mark on the guage. They only get hotter if I idle it for an extended time.
