I've installed this chrome fuel pump and from what I can tell, it is functioning as it should. Here is the problem, the round case on the fuel pump touches a round casting area that sticks out the front of the passenger side block. I feel as though I'm getting heat soak out of the block into the fuel pump. Does anyone know if this area is thick enough to file or grind down to get some air between the block and the pump, or would it be better to find a smaller diameter pump? The car is a 416 stroker running a 750 Edelbrock with their spacer. I can still hear the fuel boil in the fuel filter when the car gets to running temperature. When it gets hot, the fuel pressure gauge jumps all over the place like it is trying to read vaporized fuel.
