Re: fuel line
Route away from heat source , build a reflector shield or use an electric fuel pump .

Re: fuel line
Keep the fuel line away from the exhaust. It will pick up heat from the bottom of the firewall to the pump. Rubber hose over the line in this area helps. The two big problems are the fuel pump getting hot mainly from the intake manifold and the intake manifold transferring heat to the base of the carb. Bob Shewman 1-610-933-6637 or [email protected] makes a black phenolic 1/2" ventilated insulator that comes with gaskets and longer studs. I tested several of these for months in 90 degree temperatures and they drop the carb base about 25 degrees. This stopped rough running at slow speeds and reduced the gas boiling out of the carb after shut down . G.M.
