I had, sometimes still have, the same problem. I also had a leak in my
exhaust, which added to the problem. I fixed the exhaust and installed an
electric fan on the front of my radiator that blows air through and wired it
to
a fused switch so I can turn it on and off as needed while driving. That
has really helped and mostly in stop and go traffic, I use the electric fan,
on the road I don't need it.
Also, a member of our club took a marine bilge fan and mounted it
above and next to the radiator. The fan is set up so it sucks air in from the
front of the car from a hose the goes to the back side of his grille and
then pushes it out of a hose that opens up right above and in front of the
front carb float bowl. This has worked extremely well for him. Seems the gas
gets real hot in those floats and causes the engine to back fire, run rough
to say the least and is not a very fun driving experience.
