<VV> Vapor Lock repeated again (redundant)

[J R Read_HML]

Ken,

IMHO, you are way overthinking this essentially non-existent problem.  In 
something approaching 100,000 Corvair miles over the past dozen years or 
so - on at least 1/2 dozen different vehicles, I've never once encountered 
the problem.  One time - on a club outing - one guy had what everyone 
thought was vapor lock (well, almost everyone).  I provided him with a fuel 
pump and away we all went.

Now, did it cool enough in the interim so that it started.  Probably.  But, 
it was not his first instance on that trip and he had no further instances 
after the pump was replaced.

PS - you DO realize that Corvairs have vented gas caps, right?
