Another project on the Chevelle, this time, I am out to fix vapor lock, a condition that happens when you run Ethanol fuel with a carburetor.

I run a 1" 4 hole spacer plate under my 4 barrel .You can also run a wix metal filter with a built in vapor return port . 3/8" in and out and the vapor port nipple is a little smaller then 5/16" . You run a line with hose or just hose back to a port on the sending unit or tank. You can drill and tap and install a brass port into the part of the fill spout that bends down towards the tank. You can use a wix filter from a 1982 dodge d150 truck like the one i described up top. I use them on my 65 dart and 82 d150 truck .

I'm thinking your original carb gasket is wrong. It's for an open plenum intake and yours is divided. The four hole gasket is correct as it seals on the center divider making the dual plane flow correctly. Ehtanol and vapor lock is plaguing me too.

Hope you've got good motor mounts to keep your air filter bolt from tapping a hole in your hood, when you rev it up. NAPA thanks you for this video, and I do too.

Dave, sure would like to know how all that insulation worked for ya' on the vapor lock situation. Because I noticed the rubber hose coming out of the filter, along with the metal tubing going to carb, which is sitting directly on top of the intake manifold, which gets very hot after you shut engine down.

Thanks for the review, I changed all of that, I now run metal line (Insulated) from fuel pump to a Pressure Regulator valve then insulated metal line to the carb. and yes off the manifold, thanks
