What I'm saying is there might be several issues but that spacer always helped with heat in fuel

 

I'll second that about the spacer helping with heat.

 

Yea you should put a phenolic spacer it helps tremendously. It fixed my vapor lock problem.

 

I have a converted 6 cyl to a 302 and I bought the stainless hardline kit. It did me no good. Still runs too close to the exhaust and I had to chop it up to fit. Its coming out before spring and I'm running all rubber with an electric pump.

 

Ok thanks for all the input everyone, looks like ill have to try a combination of things.
