Good show Mart! If you reroute that gas line (pump to carb) more up in the air, the gas will stay a little cooler away from the heat riser area and less likely to vaporize. You Brits may not have a problem with that like we do with the high alch. content in our gas.

I think your truck just wanted some “hands on” attention........is your dog a Weimareiner?.....you folks seem to live pretty close together over there....does anybody complain when your “ knocking about” on your vehicles?....as always, great video!!...Thanks...Mark

Cheers guys.

Yeah, Meggie's a Weimaraner. She's 7 years old and still thinks she's a puppy. I don't tend to get problems with the neighbours, but I make sure I don't make a lot of noise after about 9pm. We are pretty close here, that's just the way it is in urban or suburban England.
I don't tend to have a vapour lock problem, but that's a good suggestion, next time I'm making up a pipe I'll try and run it a bit higher.

I enjoy making the videos but it is quite time consuming, especially if you have to reshoot something. So I do appreciate people taking their time to watch and comment.

Thanks guys.

Mart.

I gave it a look and a like. Yes, the old flatheads need some attention once in a while. My Merc is overdue for a run as I've been busy. This farming hobby sure cuts in to my old iron work. :-)
