The bubbling in the filter is a sign that the fuel is, indeed, boiling and causing vapor lock. If so, I put the problem on the gas rather than your car. I don't know about Arizona, but here in Texas the stations are only selling limited amounts of bottom grade gas following Hurricane Harvey. Following big storms that hit LA and TX, it is not uncommon to get tanks of bad, or very poor, gas. If you can burn off that tank completely, then refill with high grade from a large station, like Shell, Valero, or Exxon. These stations (should) get their gas straight from their company. 7-11 and other such stations get what they can get at discount from whatever supply they can find. With a fresh tank of good gas, I think 90% of your problem will be licked. Our TR design...with the carbs over the exhaust, very low fuel pressure, and a long run of line from the pump...is always going to be more prone to vapor locking.
Note: I used to put Texaco in with the "good" stations, but I've now had 2 incidents of bad gas from Texaco. I no longer trust them. The last incident was on my 2005 Jag, and cost me $1300 in parts before I figured out it was just a bad tank of gas!
