Re: Wood clothes pins on the gas line
In the summer (when I was much younger), I used to wrap shop towels around the fuel pump and the line to the carb on the 8BA in my '50 Ford convertible and then pour water that I carried in the car on the rags. The evaporative cooling stopped the fuel from boiling and the engine would get enough fuel to run. It helped to pop the hood so that the safety latch was allowing the hood to be open slightly. I would have loved to have aluminum clothes pins which would have helped much more than wooden ones. Gar Williams
