	The best fix for my 1966 turbo was so simple: A vented gas cap
(the original cap was long ago replaced with a non-vented locking
cap).  Hasn't vapor locked since, and still running a stock fuel
delivery setup (mechanical pump, etc.).

	Nothing like vapor locking a few years ago at the Canadian
border, and having to PUSH my car through the gate...

			See you in Portland!
