Re: Vapor lock, possibly?
I talked with my uncle who I got the car from, he said he had this problem when doing a couple of parades. He said he removed air cleaner & poured a little gas in the carb & it fired right up. He sent a new electric fuel pump with the car. I also see Bob Drake sell a heat shield that fits under the carb to prevent vapor lock. I have a new 6V Autolite coil still in the box & a couple new condensers I'll try those also.
On one of my Model A's I've had a problem with the coil getting hot if points closed & the pop out ing. switch doesn't open when turned off. The coil gets so hot you can hardly touch it & won't start. Starts right up when coil cools down but never quits when driving it.
