Guys, thanks for all your ideas and input. I am getting a real mechanic to look at it next weekend.

Just a question on vapor lock, I always thought with vapor lock the car would not start back up when that is happening. My car will start back up, it just doesn't want to idle.

My carb is new this season, built by HARMS, but never adjusted for my car. I am hoping all this is due to some tuning issues in the carb.

My mechanic has my TQ that I used last season. He was looking at it to get familiar with them. (he was a GM guy back in his hot rod days). The car ran ok with that carb on it last season, once we adjusted the metering rods as high up as they would go. Before doing that the carb would bog out off the line. I had just finished the resto last season and only drove the car for more then 30 minutes once last year, that time it ran ok. I am going to get that carb back and throw it on to see if it will run longer then 45 minutes. Then I will know for sure if it's in the carb or not.
