Vapor Lock Problem Solved!

[chargerhardtop69]

I've been sorting out a problem with refiring my 440 magnum after rising heat vapor locks my Edelbrock carb. I installed a 1/2" carb. spacer made of Phenolic, a carmal-colored material that resists heat. Best $30 ever spent. No more half throddle chugging while waiting for fresh fuel to cool things down. Mine is a non-air auto. '69 charger R/T with the two core 22" radiator.

thats good to hear !!! just out of curiosity ..what intake & air cleaner are you running

Stock cast iron intake with the unsilenced factory round air cleaner, all stock. I haven't figured out how to post photos because of the 200 KB maximum size and mine seem to be 600 or something. Not very computer smart yet.

  Go to google and type in "picture resizer", or just use this one   http://www.picresize.com/   Very easy to use, no download necessary.

Photobucket worked well for me. It's takes a few mins. to transfer them to your posts but it cured that same problem for me.
