Going through the same thing. When its hot out and my engine is about 190F, the AFR on the gauge goes into the 12s-11s during an interstate cruise. The damn fuel vapor makes it go rich while it's running. I blocked off the heat crossover with 321 stainless. That helped a lot but not completely.
I'm trying a 1/4" open spacer between my 750DP and RPM. If that ain't enough, I'm going 1/2" open phenolic spacer. I ran a 1/2" nitrous plate under a Q-jet on the same intake on my previous motor. A nitrous plate is basically an open spacer with the spraybars in the middle. That engine was 9:1 400, XE274 cam, mild ported 670s. 10" converter and 3.90s. It loved the open spacer. The idle vacuum was 10-12", but otherwise the open spacer worked. Especially when the solenoids opened, LOL.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
