<VV> 110 WOWS!

The electric pump should "bypass" vapor lock, if it's working.
Running good at all should indicate the lines are good and the old pump isn't causing blockage.
To test the "bad cap" theory, my vote, open the cap right after it dies next time and listen for a hissing noise as you open it. You'll be breaking the vacuum in the tank.
You might also want to check out the overflow on the filler neck.

Sounds to me like the gas cap is not properly vented.

My wife has a  '66 110 powerglide convertable. After driving  around for 20 
iles or so the engine sounds and feels like it is trying to run out of
uel. 
or short trips around town the car runs GREAT with no problems at all. 
Have a eletric pump plus the old manual. I do not think it is vapor locking,
just don't see how it could, all lines are  away from all heat sourses. It
ind 
f acts like vapor loocking though, but I just can't figure out how. 
Could the old manual pump that is still in the system be giving me a
roblem?  
ven though I have a elteric one at the tank, have been running it this way
or 
 or 4 years though. 
Anyone have any other ideas?...Thank you in advance, 
oe  Reid, 
rownsburg Indiana
