fuel line is routed from newish mechanical IPD Pump up along front / left driver side of eng (where the small plastic filter is) looping around the back / top of eng to far side of newish DGV carb. tried to avoid hot side of eng. NO heat shield, but do have plastic spacer under base of carb. all fuel line in eng bay is less than 1 year old. I read somewhere that premium 93 octane should help prevent vapor lock (if that's the prob) also, ive been running 89 octane with lead substitute in every tankful, got tired of adjusting valves every few thousand miles. ...I do have a fair amount of weight in her all the time.
