My 67 Catalina starves itself of fuel when it is very hot and I've driven around 30 miles. I hit the gas and it dies. I pull over and the clear fuel filter says it has fuel. The motor is all new and the pump is too. Someone help please? I'm thinking that maybe the lines become pinched as they heat up? Vapor Lock?

If it starves on the highway, try removing the fuel cap to see if you are pulling a vaccuum on the fuel tank.
If it starves around town, it very well may be vapor lock. Jon.
