What problems if any would be going to happen? possible vapor lock? thanks 1968 rr

If you have the can style filter you WILL suck it dry and then your engine will bog until it fills again. FWIW nobody needs an electric fuel pump on a carb'd car unless you are running low 11's. A mech pump is fine.

THe gas boils super easy around here. never ever have had issues w/ gas boiling. You must have your fuel line too close to the block. It gets upper 90's 100 here in the summer. And we have traffic. My trick is I always bend the line from the pump to the carb at least 1/2" form the block and even futher above the intake/heads. You also should always use a carb spacer. a 4 hole 1/2 inch works wonders.
