[T3] Mechanical Fuel Pump Vapor Lock

[Max Welton]

Adam, I had exactly this problem both with 32 PDSITs and also with the 
Weber DCNFs. I put on a Carter rotary pump and never looked back.

I would not hesitate to do so again, if I were to ever switch back to 
carbs. It was an effective and simple solution. I used a Holly pressure 
regulator.

In fact, I still have that pump. You are welcome to it. You may get 
a kick out of my mounting solution. ;-)

 I have read that type 3 cars are
 prone to fuel pump vapor lock on hot restart. My car does
 this. It will start fine when hot, but once the carbs run
 out of fuel it will sputter and choke till the fuel pump
 clears itself of the vapor and pumps fuel. 
 
 My thoughts were to remove the mechanical pump and go
 electric. I was thinking of putting in a low pressure fuel
 pump this weekend. Are there any other solutions?
