heat buildup issue, if you turn your heater on full blast do the symptoms subside? a little or a lot?
maybe the dampers or thermistors are not cooling adequately?

all the symptoms of vapor lock. It seems as if the gas supply has shut 
down. After waiting five minutes I can start it up and it will go a 
short distance and the same condition occurs. Gas tank has been cleaned, 
new sock installed. Electric fuel pump installed. All ignition parts are 
new and engine has been rebuilt.  Engine tuned. Runs great for this 
short distance then begins to miss. This is an early 1963 Corvan.

I have no faith that I will get to meetings or shows with this 
condition. Might anyone have any suggestions on where to look?
