[Healeys] Vapor lock?

[Leonard Berkowitz]

I believe that is what my problem is called.  It seems that when my car is 
hot and I turn it off it is very hard to restart it unless it has been 
sitting for a very long time.  The problem is encountered more frequently on 
hot days. Not so much when it is cold.  The only way to start it is to put 
my foot to the floor and crank the engine for quite some time. The only bit 
of info I failed to include is that the problem is not with my beloved 63 
Healey. It is with my 50 Dodge.  The car has a straight six, L-head engine 
with a one barrel carburator and no fuel filter. It is typical design with a 
metal fuel line coming from the fuel pump to the carberator.  I was 
wondering if there might be some other reason for the starting difficulty 
that some one on the list might suggest.
