Here's a semi-rhetorical question: Why, after 33 years, would a car suddenly
develop
vapor lock? I would assume that this isn't the first time the car has ever
been driven
is temperatures this hot.
Rerouting, insulation, etc. may mask the symptoms (or not), but
the root cause must be something else.

P.S.: My stock '72 has never given me any significant vapor-lock-like or
overheating problems.
