Since having vapor lock under specific and stressed conditions this year from the new fuel type in Poland, i opted for a custom solution (however i do prefer to have everything factory stock).
Mounted an electric fuel pump (for a John Deere) - 7psi output and similar flow as mechanical. It has been placed near the rear right hand side wheel, with a custom made splash shield. The fuel goes through a fuel pressure guage and then through insulated metal tubes to the carb. The carb also got a spacer to prevent heatsoak. On the guage i have a constant fuel pressure of 6psi.
This setup proves really nice. Starting is a breeze, even after extended periods when the car has been sat. Previously i would have to crank a considerable amount, now i just turn the key, give few seconds for the pump to prime the carb, a few pumps of the pedal, and then onto cranking- it starts within a second or two.
Also when heatsoaked, and left for 10-15 minutes the engine starts almost immediately. Awesome. I wish i had done this earlier, and will definately have the same setup on my project Gremlin with an inline 6 232.
