Greetings y'all, Well, I've been driving and tweaking my car all winter, and figured FOR SURE I've got this thing tuned so sweet it couldn't possibly have vaporlock problems come summer time. NOT! Pr

I drove both a '69 and my present '70 all over the Arizona desert. I lived about half way between Phoenix and Tucson. Never had a vapor lock problem. Both were stock at the time. Best regards, Fred S

Almost sounds like you don't have a good fuel flow at low RPMs. Have you checked to see if the fuel return line is clogged? Is the pump putting out enough volume? Could it be that the lever on the pu

I've driven my 70-1600 in stop-n-go traffic in the worst of the AZ heat and have *not* had the vapor lock problem. Stock f/p, but I did run hard line from the pump up to the carbs The extra insulatio

Definitely check the vapor return valve on the carb inlet. Has a bimetallic strip and valve inside. When it gets warm the valve opens recirculating fuel to the tank. Works well at stopping vapor lock

I experienced vapor lock with my 66 in heavy traffic during the summer. The cure was an electric fan which flowed a lot more air than the crappy stock 4 blade steel fans. When you need it the most, i

Actually, steel line is more prone to vapor lock. One old time cure is to slip a piece of rubber hose over the metal line to insulate it. Best regards, Fred Schroeder '70 2000 SRL311-13359 TDROC Home
