Thanks for the replies. What fuel pump should I get? I have a Holley 750 w/vacuum secondaries. Can someone give me a good recommendation for an electric fuel pump? I also have a plugged fuel tank vent line (and no charcoal cannister). I've got to look into this issue. Right now, I took the gasket off my gas cap to vent the tank. I guess the elec pump will be my excuse to work on the fuel lines. Now, I should run the electric pump in PLACE of the mech, right? Thus I'd buy a blockoff for the mechanical pump, and then install the electric?
Also, revving the motor didn't help yesterday -- it was THAT bad  It was only bad under a load, however.
I'll be running straight (or mostly straight) leaded 110 octane in the car to try to help also. It seems to be a lot worse on straight 92 octane unleaded....so w/my CR, I'll run 110 to help.
Thanks again. I had a feeling it was vapor lock. I'll also try insulating the fuel lines...but will probably start w/an electric pump as soon as I get a good recommendation.
Thanks again!
