"Vapor lock".? Yes this has all the makings of a vapor lock, and we definitely considered this. Still haven't ruled it out. The fuel system on this vehicle consists of a new steel tank ( Bob Drake ) New "Airtex" electric fuel pump (5 to 9 lbs.) steel line from the tank, filter, through the frame, up to the firewall to a fuel filter, regulator, short rubber flex hose ( 6" ) to the fuel block, and then to three (3) new "Stromberg" (England) carburetors, regulator'ed at 2,1/2 lbs. We are constantly on the look out for good fuel ( non Ethanol) in our area and make an effort to use it.
