My 65 dart /6 with a 1 barrel Holley has had what appear to be vapor lock problems. I've recently learned that boiling in the bowl in the carb is similar.
How do I tell the difference when it is happening?

not sure but the /6 heat risers divert WAY too much heat.I would turn the counterweight "off"(I forget which way that is) & lock it there.

I knew they were the same thing but different locations. I want to know how to tell the difference since they would require different fixes.

My experience with boiling in the carb is that you can hear it boiling a minute or two after engine shut down (at least on a small block).
