<div>It is odd that some experience vapor lock and others do not.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>My 1969 Duel Soles Squareback has never experienced vapor lock. This is despite living where summer days are in the upper 90's.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The carburetors have the thick spacers installed and the fuel pump is mechanical.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The worst issue it experiences is the dead zone because of the German 009 distributor installed. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I know. I should replace it with the correct distributor which is sitting on a shelf in a box. But that's my problem.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Same with my factory original 912, never an issue.</div>
