Michael,
I never tried the "mist" solution, but along with George McHarris from the =
soCal AH Club, we came up with a way to pretty much do away with the proble=
m all together.
We installed a marine bilge fan that blew cool air directly onto the front =
float bowl. When caught in traffic and with the temps rising, turn on the f=
an and the car ran smooth. Before starting the car, turn the fan on, let it=
run for a few minutes and the cart started and ran smooth.
The best thing I ever did with my BN1 and was really simple. And best of al=
l, I installed mine so that it could be removed easily and no holes were ev=
er drilled.
Some where I have photos of my installation, but basically the fan was moun=
ted next to and a little above the radiator on the driver's side of the car=
. A three inch hose drew air from right behind the grille, ahead of the hea=
t in the engine compartment. The air then would be sent through another fle=
xible "hose" and delivered directly to the front float bowl. I sat in traff=
ic with the temperature getting close to the 200 degree range and never had=
a problem with vapor lock.
Worked great. And like I said above, it was a really simple installation wi=
