"Or, even easier and does not disturb an authentic engine compartment, you could install an electric fuel pump back by the gas tank to turn on when vapor locked. Always works for me"

That just may need to happen if the fuel pump change and elevated position does not correct the problem. I have also recently replaced the thermostats with higher flow versions that seem to have reduced running engine/coolant temps by 5-10°F. The EFV-8 Club Judging Standards Committee unfortunately does not recognize an electric fuel pump as a necessary safety feature that can be used on these cars without the loss of points on the show field. This does prevent some club members from installing an electric fuel pump, but I feel it's better to be safe than worry about loosing points during a show.
