Re: Posible vapor lock solution?

Craig, BH and Tim, I am still mulling around all of the advice and experiences before I act.
While both of my Packards experienced vapor lock that day of the parade, it seemed to happen after running for more than 30 mins and stopping for awhile. On the way home my wife was driving the '50 and I was in the '56. The '50 stalled after sitting at a light and entering the freeway. I stopped with her and shuut down the '56. I left to go home to get tools and the '56 stalled within a mile. Try calling a tow company saying you've got TWO PACKARDS (both green) STUCK ON THE FREEWAY A MILE APART DURING A FIRE STORM! That was for naught because both cars soon cooled and we made it home.
Yesterday we drove the '50 about 30 miles and stopped the car for about 10 mins. and it stalled right away. About 3 hrs. later we went home, stopping half way for lunch. It stalled again right after the start. Let it cool down and we were off like a prom dress at 2 AM!.
