It would be simpler than alternatives being discussed. 40 years ago, the fuel lines got wrapped with foam insulation, sometimes relocated, and an electric fuel pump and 99% of the problems were solved.

Is the ram air a filter with two hoses going under the front end of car like the 1960's Olds 442?

You have my sympathy; it is a hard problem to isolate.

I have installed a phenolic 1" spacer already, I relocated the fule lines and are wrapped already with insulating material. The fuel pump is mechanical pumping 9 psi cold and hot so the pump seems to be working fine. I have stayed away from the electric pump thinking that I might isolate the problem other than the pump.
The ram air system has the hoses from the front grill to the carb stacked high.
