I thought about going to a mechanical pump, but that "little" aluminum headed Chev needs to run 195-200 degrees to run right......Im thinking that sticking the fuel pump on the side of the block might cause me problems. On a 100 degree day, I do have to dealwith heat soak on the carb....not as bad as the double pumper holleys I ran, but she just doesnt snap right off after sitting 10 or 15 minutes when good & warm. The insulator gasket helped on that, but I wonder if that RPM airgap would keep the carb a little cooler? crazyL
