<DIV>Heat and this ethanol fuel is a definite problem with my BN1 and I'm sure
the same happens with BN2's also and from what Keith is saying, it seems to also
affect six cylinder folks as well. From what I heard, a lower boiling point for
the fuel has a lot to do with why the "vapor lock" symptoms occur. </DIV>
<DIV>This is how I solved my problem with that happening while stuck in traffic,
starting up after sitting for a short time after a hot run, etc.</DIV>

<DIV>The 3" flex is bent and pulled right to the float bowl. If I
sit, I turn the fan on from a switch inside the cockpit and let
it run for about 30 seconds before firing up and now problem. When
stuck in traffic, flick the switch and instant cold air stops vapor
lock. When going down the road, flip the switch and the fan turns
off. </DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr>This is a really interesting survey, but what about paint?
I have a set of mild steel headers that I plan to put on a bugeye I'm
restoring. I don't really want to leave them bare, and I was planning on
painting them with high-temp paint.
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>On a slightly different note, my experience with heat and rough running
in my BT7 is exactly the same as Bob's. I have come to accept that it is
'normal' behavior for these cars although I've always wondered about wrapping
the the exhaust manifold to decrease the heat load on the carbs. </DIV>
