I am using a typical can fuel filter to the carburator. In light of
this message from Greg, could that be part of my vapor lock problem.
The car runs well until it is hot, ~ 1/2 hour, then it stall and will
not have even power to start the engine until 15 min. have pasted.
During the 15 min. wait, it does help if the hood is open to speed up
coolong of the motor.

P.S. I went with the after market American Racing wheels for my Brick,
because I found out that it could cost any where form $125 to $200 plus
per wheel to fix originals.
