<VV> was broken nose - now vapor lock

[J R Read]

An ice pack on the stock fuel pump will often do the trick to get you 
started again.

Man, I sure hope that's not the case with mine. I'd rather take the blame 
than to think that the new clutch and flywheel, both heavy duty from 
Clark's, are suspect.

With an ambient temp of 97-98 here in Northeast PA yesterday, I took the 
Monza for a 100+ mile cruise. When we stopped for lunch, it wouldn't restart 
again. Don't know if it was vapor locked or flooded. I tried everything I 
knew, but the only thing I succeeded in doing was in running the battery 
down. Finally called for road service through my Hagerty insurance and a 
fellow "Chevy lover" came out and provided enough extra juice from a jump 
that I could get it running. It did act like it was flooded (black smoke) 
when it finally started.

Never a dull moment. It was way too hot to be out running around anyway, 
even with the top down.
