Intake manifold choices

What I wanted to add is that if you are pulling fuel from the tank your symptom may be lack of pump pressure also. because its boiling before the pump.
NOT pulling. I have an electric pump mounted at the tank.
A question on the return line idea: Eventually all the fuel will become the same temperature. The fuel in the tank will not
always be cooler due to the constant recirculation. What makes the idea useful is that the engine is not run long enough under 'normal' circumstances to get to that equilibrium? The large surface area of the tank continually cools the fuel to
some extent...even though it is mostly exposed to hot asphalt all the time? The recirc idea will work for 'some' time but eventually the process will become insufficient? Yes, I am picking at a bit of a nit, but am curious about the technical aspects of the matter. ...just ruminating.
All answers are good.
It all depends on the specifics. You can cross into another fuel area with lower RVP allowance and might be fine.
THANKS for the input!
Damn the specifics! Full speed ahead!! Or...Full Stop if'n the dang thing won't even start. While fussing with it in the parking lot the other day, a driver driving by said, 'Nice car!'. I replied: 'It would be NICE if you got it started!'
She said, 'No thanks.'
Yes. A different Reid index fuel would work, I'm sure. I'm too cheap for that. Just making the 25 mile trip to buy non-alcoholick fuel at $6.00/gal. is enough for me.
I do appreciate the input(s). I've GOT to get my phenol spacer put on. Maybe a couple of simple spacers under the MoPar high bracket will do the trick. ....more ruminating....
