Car won't start sometimes..

The fact is modern ethanol fuels raise what is called the RVP. Meaning, they vapor lock/ boil "worser."

Best things I did for my 67..........

Finally converted it to EFI

But BEFORE THAT

Abandoned mechanical pump, installed rear mount electric pump

Constructed vapor return system using an orifice fuel filter, AKA Wix 33040 / 33041

Added carb heat spacer. I used a 3/8" I think. Bought locally at O'Reallys

The vapor return systems were first used in the factory 440 and hemi cars, not sure just when, sometime in the 60's. First one I ever saw or had was on my 70 V code RR. IT WORKED

"The usual stuff"

Pay attention to fuel line routing, consider new hi tech sleeve insulation for the purpose

Some carbs, EG Ed AFB, are worse because the fuel bowls are in contact with the hot manifold surface

Consider blocking the carb heat crossover

Make sure the engine isn't overheating. Can the engine temp be improved?

It's ALWAYS possible you just plain have something wrong in the fuel system, IE plugged vent, weak fuel pump, pinhole leaks in the supply tube, or whatever. How old? again? are these girls?

I run non ethanol fuel and the fuel pump is a week old. It's an Edelbrock 1405 so I think i'm going to try a 160 degree thermostat and a carb spacer of some sort to see if that helps. The only line I haven't checked is the rubber line going from the tank to the hard line, if it was to leak there would it cause my fuel filter to drain down when the car is off? As far as I know it's original and ancient but it looked good when I pulled the tank in June..
