[V8Vairs] ? For the group at large

You could always install a small return line from the carb inlet back to 
the tank. This will purge bubbles and circulate cool fuel before you 
start it.

Holley black getter pump located in the center of the engine compartment on the rear firewall (low), single -6 AN feed from the rear fuel cell And single -6AN from the pump to the regulator and then 2 -6 AN to the carb and nitrous solenoid. Finally figured out the vapor lock problem and moved the pump to the rear compartment, -6 AN from pump to regulator and included a return line to the fuel cell. Worked flawless for 900+ miles on the power tour.
> Problem now is when I stop for gas or any other short engine off stop (15-30 min) apparently I'm still getting fuel vaporizing in the lines and makes it very difficult to start. Usually takes 3-4 start, run, die cycles before it will clean up and run right.
