One more thing that Davis mentions. You have all
these fucking 'designer' fuels all over the US. What you find in Houston will
not be same you find in Orlando, which will be different that crap in Phoenix
and so forth. These 'blends' are added to fuel at refineries headed towards
certain destinations. To clean the air, but also to make you vomit if stuck in
traffic smelling that shit. Sometime I also do on several of my cars is run, not
one, but TWO clear fuel filters. One in front of the fuel pump BEFORE the fuel
pump and behind the frame rail. The other is on top of the engine right in front
of the carb. This is the one to watch as if you see it bubbling when car is
running, chances are it is either running too hot, but also going to have air
bubbles getting in line/carb. I do not know enough about the laws of
combustability, however, know that it ain't good to have the fuel bubbling
before it gets to carb either.

Gremlin - "gastric" problem?
CHarlie,
It definitly sounds like your getting vapor lock. Make sure you
wrap (or move or both) the fuel line and NOT the headers with the heat wrap.
If you wrap the headers they will rot out in no time!
My starter is high performance and spins the motor like a champ - hot
or cold. Interesting theory about the gas line. In general, there seems
to be a lot of heat under the hood. Perhaps some header tape would not be a
bad idea.
