How to fix Vapor locking from happening

[mezy]

You say you have fitted a new fuel pump, Did you check it against the old one, are the arms that sit on the cam exactly the same shape and length,
If it has an insulator block did you refit the orignal one with new gaskets without cleaning off the old gaskets,
Any of these thing will cause bad delivery of fuel,
can you pull the pump and check the cam lobe does not have a groove worn into it.

Late to the party the original pumps were good for racing 150/160bhp cars in Kas K’s time so they can deliver the fuel to SU’s
I had a fuel delivery issue and it was a small rubber connection tube near the rear.some cars have a brass connector a lot have a plain rubber pipe to join the 2 metal pipe runs. It’s tucked away under the car running along the chassis and often forgotten about.
the video was the poor running and blowing the fuel line in the paddock with a tyre inflator
see the picture.

Wheel bearing repacking is something that was very common before cars had front wheel drive. I believe you will find it very doable plus I am sure the forum will help.
