Gets hot and stalls out

Your fuel is boiling due to the lower boiling temp of the ethanol. If your using a manual fuel pump. You need to put a return filter between the pump and the carburetor as in the first picture. If your using an electric pump install a regulator in the return after the carb as in second picture

I had the same problem on several cars. It will start and then flood. The floats won't shut the needle and seat because the fuel is boiling and dead ended up against the needle.

You will not believe the difference in the way the car runs if you do this.

I have the same setup as you do in pic 1, EXCEPT my fuel line and filter are essentially against the block (more or less between the alternator bracket and block). Hopefully the pics attached show the setup. I was concerned that putting the line on the other side of the bracket could interfere with the alternator belt. Will moving that line give better cooling for the fuel?
