<VV> 1964 Corvair Monza

Bob:
 
thanks for explaining what vapor lock is.  My problem happens when it is
still running after you start it initially.  Also you suggested to check the
in line fuel filter which has been replaced when I put in the new tank and
sock filter.

No. Vapor lock almost always occurs after a hot run and the engine is shut
down and car sits for 15 to 20 minutes. Then the engine starts and runs
great until the carb bowls are emptied and the car comes to a dead stop.
