. I am  still having the similar problem with my Notchback and I found most 
of the  problem to be bad connections, and the rest of it was the engine 
bay is  holding so much heat its just boiling the gas in the fuel pump. If i 
shut it  off it sometimes will not start, but if it sits for an hour or so to 
cool down  theres gas back to the pump and it will start right up first 
turn and run non  stop till I shut it off again.





I had this issue with my 65 Notch, but only after I installed one of those  
all aluminum engine case engines. In my case, it was the fuel pump that was 
 vapor locking, and even with a small electric fuel pump in place, the pump 
 wouldn't let fuel past it. I ended up removing the mechanical pump from 
the  system, and going with an electric pump, and it's been fine since. I've 
heard  from others who have run into this same problem as well.
