Assuming that the problem is vapor lock, but we can not determine where in =
the fuel system the overheating occurs, can we make the assumption that the=
 factory understood the problem and moved the fuel pump to the right side o=
f the then BT and BN7=E2=80=99s in January 1962 in order to fix it?  For in=
stance do we have evidence/experience that the vapor lock is also occurring=
 in cars built after the pump was relocated?=20

Thanks, everyone, for your collective wisdom on the fuel pump. Given that t=
he car restarted without issue after sitting in the parking lot of the wine=
ry for two hours, and when I filled up the tank on the way back to the gara=
ge, with an 18 mpg indicated for the 75 mile run, I'm going to conclude tha=
t it was just vapor lock from the 15 miles in traffic at 95 degrees during =
the middle of the day.=20
Thanks for giving me an explanation that fitted the circumstances and made =
me feel better about the day's experience. Now I'm looking forward to getti=
ng up into the coastal mountains for more runs this summer. The car has bee=
n too many recent summers without any good touring, while I lived in the in=
creasingly densely trafficked SF Bay Area. Really happy with all of this Co=
vid stuff to be up here in idyllic Oregon.

Best
Gary Anderson
