What you need is the Cool Carb heat shield. Google it and you’ll find it.
There are two parts to it, but you can just use one. I always use both of them, because it’s relatively cheap.
That carb has issues with heat. I always block the heat crossover in the intake manifold because you don’t need the heat in the first place, and it pisses the carb off in the second place.
That and the Cool Carb heat shield is the best bang for your buck.
