Wow, I am confused. Yes I too have had the pleasure of having a case of Vapor Lock (I think). My first with either of the cars. After reading all the posts on VL I am confused as to what I experienced today on our 10 mile drive. After about 6 or 7 miles the old coupe quit on us. Pulled over to the side of the road and let it sit for awhile. Temps were in the high 70's. After a short pause, tried to start it, started fine and ran another mile or so before the next shutdown. Same thing happened for the next few miles over and over again. Went into the local store (when we finally got there) and purchased a crescent wrench (never leave home without your tool box) to take the gas line off. Drained the line and tried it again. This helped for the next two or so shutdowns but we did get home without a toe. Wheeee! So I don't know what happened but it sure seemed like vapor lock to me (if there is such a thing).

P.S. I painted my carb black. Maybe I should have painted it silver to shed the heat!
