It sounds like you have taken most to the precautions suggested to minimize=
 vapor lock. What cam do you have? What compression was your engine built t=
o? What advance is the ignition set at? When you experience vapor lock, wha=
t is the water temp. reading & have you checked the gage accuracy? Do you h=
ave a heat shield installed between the header & intake manifold?Gary Hodso=
