[Healeys] Vapor lock?

[Bill]

For non-Healey automotive questions, may I suggest you subscribe and 
post your question to:  *shop-talk*.  You subscribe the same way as you 
did for this list.  There is a vast amount of knowledge there and some 
car collections you wouldn't believe, maybe even the vehicle that you're 
questioning.

Not trying to flame you, Len, just passing on info learned from several 
years on that list, as well.
