old rat 49 Posted July 3, 2012 Report Posted July 3, 2012 Don't have a heat shield in use. Do have 6v electric pump and fuel line up away from exhaust. Has been an unusual 105 degrees here the last few days. Driving fine; restarts a breeze. Temp guage shows about 175-180 here in town. Drops some when I get going with traffic good. Stop and going into store or whatever it climbs to max temp on guage and comes down quickly once moving. No boiling over of fuel or coolant. Quite pleased with the hot weather performance. I was worried about it. Do have accelerator pump on the hot weather setting. No choke used at first start up. One full pump then half pedal and start. Restart half pedal and start. I do have an unused stock fuel pump heat shield if any one needs one. Quote
james curl Posted July 3, 2012 Report Posted July 3, 2012 I am running dual carbs with out any type of heat shield and never have a starting problem no matter how how it gets here in Central Texas, it was only 109 degrees the other day and it runs and starts with out any problems, always just crack the throttle plates to start.

MiltYergens Posted July 4, 2012 Report Posted July 4, 2012 http://www.slantsix.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=15778 I post this solution with one concern, the fuel pump on a slant six is on the opposite side of the block as the exhaust. Not true on the flathead six. Quote
