        Even the stock Tiger has this problem.   I'm not sure we can get
away from that problem completely without going to a fuel injection style
system.

        I'm not sure that running the fuel line up the tranny tunnel is a
good idea.   All the heat is going to funnel into that area.   When I first
put my Tiger on the road I had no carpet and no shift boot installed.   I
had a huge amount of heat and hot air blowing through the shifter opening.

        I believe there is a reasonably priced reproduction Boss 302 carb
spacers on the market now that might help.

I was hoping to find answers to this issue at SUNI.  I did not. 

I also checked the archives.

I have a chronic problem with fuel boiling in the bowels and flooding my
engine.  This happens when I stop the car once it is up to temp.  I saw
other Tigers with the same issues at SUNI.

My current equipment -

260 bored 030 over
F4B manifold
Holley four barrel carb (custom) 
OEM Hood
Slightly modified fuel delivery. (line runs up the tranny tunnel to back of
carb and has heat shield sock)

The car runs cool and does not go above 200 at idle or on the freeway.

What I am thinking about doing - 

Edelbrock Performer (low rise) manifold.  The F4B leaves no room for any
spacer. 1/2 wood carb spacer Recirculation fuel delivery system LAT 79 hood
13" Electric pusher fan and will run on timer for 5 minutes after engine is
shut down (need to find a timer) and/or when the coolant temp is over 210.


What are your thoughts?  I am really looking for info on what the
performance of the Performer manifold is compared to the F4B.
