Default Fuel boiling at fuel pump

I drove my 47 tudor today on the first really hot day of the year. Outside temperature was 90. My engine temp never got above 180. I experienced vapor lock so severe my electric pump would not clear it out. When I opened the hood I could hear gas sizzling, popping and bubbles in the sediment bowl. I run a phenolic spacer on the carburetor. I believe the vapor lock to be at the pump. 89 octane pump gas. What do I do about this problem?
