big block owners WTF? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Took the blazer out today for a cruz in 100 + temp and found out I have a vapor lock issue. Plan on putting a carb heat shild and a phenolic spacer between the 454 and the quadrajet. Then I'll wrap the fuel line from the pump to the carb with some be cool wrap sumit racing has. Any other suggestions??? Even After sitting in my garage for 2 hours, the alternator is hot to the touch. Would a oil cooler help any? The twin puller fans I'm running work good as far as keeping the temp gauge where it should be. This is my first BBC, I had no idea they put off so much heat.
