Mark,
There really is no room, without a LAT hood, to add anything under the
F4B high rise with a Holley, except maybe a piece of thin aluminum
shield. There is little, in the way of radiated heat, to the carb, as
the exhaust manifolds are shielded by the heads.
The fuel will evaporate on soaking while parked hot, but that just means
refilling until the SU stops clicking (or the other device fills the bowl).
If anyone is running out of float bowl gas while running, it is a bad
fuel pump. clogged lives or filters, or a carb crack/leak. Neither Dan
Eiland, or I have anything more than the gasket between carb and
aluminum manifold.
