I saw that. You know that the braded insulated lines are also around. Like what one said about raising the carb's up some. Also the block off on the cross over on the intake manifold.

Only on a hot day after say a drive then get off freeway to a stop it stumbles like its going to dye. If you stop to get more fuel, hard to get started again right away.
Any other say 80s down it runs perfectly aways.
Do you have access to ethanol free gas?
Are you sure it is starvation or is it flooding? You might want to verify fuel pressure.

Yes happily we have a Sinclair that has premium no ethanol. A little tricky to find all over in premium.
Maybe that will help, I haven't tried it in hot weather yet since didn't have it last year. Might help surely won't hurt huh.

Will do great idea, I have a Hemi mechanical manual pump no regulator or gauge.
I had to change a Carter pump on my hemi because of to high of pressure. I could of kept it if I ran a regulator. I opted for another Carter lower PSI rated and it cured my problem. Any idea of what pump you are running?

It's a stock Carter rebuildable style.
I will test pressure next.

Beat up? Seriously? The discussion about idle bowl vent valves vs primary bowl vents?
The bowl area vents internally, and via "the idle bowl vent valve".. correct?
Testing the pressure for the most part should have no cost. No cost is good because you are not wasting money guessing and throwing parts at it. Now if the pressure is 7psi or less you have to think about what to try next. If the pressure is over 7 and lets say higher 9psi you might consider a different pump or regulator. Once you test it you will have the facts.

The Edelbrocks vent straight through from the float bowl into the atmosphere. Heck you can even fill the float bowls through the top of the carb when empty.
