Agree with the old wives tales or folk medicine doctor tips working or not. Still fun to hear about.

<div>When the wooden clothes pin idea was first mentioned on this list awhile back I recall my dad using that on his old flatheads to solve vapor locks. Other friends also said their dads used the same technique and swore by it.</div>
<div>I went with the insulation as all my wooden clothes pins I used for drying my clothes on sailboat lifelines. <br>

<div style="color:black;font: 12pt Comic Sans MS, sans-serif;">I am amazed that the old myth of a clothes pin or block of wood could act as a heat sink that would stop "vapor lock" continues to circulate. This defies basic thermo dynamics. Wood is not a good
heat sink. It might provide some insulating benefit, but a few inches of it would not provide any significant benefit & if it did a better choice would be insulation.
