[Healeys] Tapping Fuel Pump TIps

[Perry]

Assuming that the problem is vapor lock, but we can not determine where in the fuel system the overheating occurs, can we make the assumption that the factory understood the problem and moved the fuel pump to the right side of the then BT and BN7’s in January 1962 in order to fix it?  For instance do we have evidence/experience that the vapor lock is also occurring in cars built after the pump was relocated?

Thanks, everyone, for your collective wisdom on the fuel pump. Given that the car restarted without issue after sitting in the parking lot of the winery for two hours, and when I filled up the tank on the way back to the garage, with an 18 mpg indicated for the 75 mile run, I'm going to conclude that it was just vapor lock from the 15 miles in traffic at 95 degrees during the middle of the day. 
Thanks for giving me an explanation that fitted the circumstances and made me feel better about the day's experience. Now I'm looking forward to getting up into the coastal mountains for more runs this summer. The car has been too many recent summers without any good touring, while I lived in the increasingly densely trafficked SF Bay Area. Really happy with all of this Covid stuff to be up here in idyllic Oregon.

Best
Gary Anderson
