yep, i pulled the hood and it help alot but still have some carb issues climbing steep grades
yep, real tight shroud. Derale 3800 cfm fan w/ electric pusher up front to help while crawling
had stock fuel line. changed to braded steel. goin back to stock w/ isulation

and yes, clothes pins about every foot.

temps are normall now that i have an external oil cooler. before in the summer crawls the water temp would go up then the oil temp would follow

never a probolem goin down the road and crawlin in the winter.

manual autometer oil and water gauges. electric oil and tranny gaugers
plugs are a little rich but its so damm hard to tell with todays fuel

had a stock fuel pump the bought one from summit cause i thought it might be starvin for fuel. q-jet is from jet performance. thinkin bout puttin the stock pump back on. why?

 

[natnjoe]

i pulled the hood and it runs fine. . hell, i dont know. or if i let it set in runs fine

my temps are normal, 180/190, after the exteral oil coolers and the triple bi-pass radiator

nothing is wrong with that. i have compartment heat the is causing the vapor lock. thats the probolem. no fule to carb, no run

 

[natnjoe]

how is the fuel line run? i have a hard line from the fuel pump that goes near the steering box, and straight down the top of the frame rail. then goes to soft line near tank. i also have inboard headers.




do you REALLY want to fix this? get a fuel filter with a return on it, and make a return to the tank. it WILL fix this problem.

same. i think i'm gona buy some line insulation tape and see what happens. pump to carb was stock. i'm gona wrap it and put it back on. i got some braided hose now.

the filter with the return will stop the vapor lock?
