Vapor lock solution

I got this fuel line wrapped with a spring. I assume it is to prevent vapor lock since the spring is located where it crosses the manifolds.

Typically a coil wrap like that is used on brake lines for protection from road debris. I can’t imagine that it would do much for heat resistance.

I think your right. It had a worn spot on the line that I soldered to fill the gap. I’m going to use it as a fuel line anyway because it looks cool and I have cut it to fit. I still need an elbow conversation elbow fitting at the fuel pump and a reducer at the carburetor for the 1/4” tube.

Make sure your heat shield is in place over the fuel pump.  I covered my pump to carb line with some rubber hose to provide some insulation for it.
