Tom I tried to respond on FCC but got that login thing. On the subject of the monster Zepher I have to think that getting some air moving through that Fox engine compartment may be a prime way to drop the under hood temps. I mean the largest engine for that compartment design was the 5.0 and seeing pics of that 385 series BB in your car tells me that with a solid hood there can't be much air flow through it. How about some louver type vents at the back of the hood? You could probably rip some out of some POS in a junk yard for a few bucks. I agree with mreid as well, having a return line for the fuel would help by keeping the carb with a constant flow of cool fuel. Besides, a FP designed to operate under high flow rates at 14psi can't be to happy constantly fighting a 5psi regulator. I would bet that those 2 mods would end your problem.

JMO of course. Good luck my friend.
