Tri-power issues

Phoenolic spacer might help. Try Speedway. I have a tri-power on my 57, and it was money well spent.

The only true solution is an electric fuel pump, either retaining the mechanical pump or not.

You need to use phenolic carb spacer(s) as mentioned, a phenolic spacer for the fuel pump (it draws a lot of heat from the engine) and insulate fuel lines in the engine compartment (may look like crap).

That aluminum air cleaner is cast alum and holds a lot of heat. It also acts like a tent to not allow heat to escape.

Let me qualify that statement. There is another way using an inline fuel filter with a relief port, but that will require a return line to the tank. It is not a sure-fire (bad choice of words) cure as an electric pump, but it will help.
