Well being from Dallas my Cobra would heat soak and fuel boiling in the carb after stopping in 90-95 degrees with this crap 93 pump fuel with 10% ethanol. I have water wetter in the radiator and no room for a wood spacer. Keith Craft recommended bumping my timing up a bit more (runs cooler) and running higher octane fuel. So I have some 110 mixed and timing bumped from 38 to 40 total advance on my 496 FE / 681 HP and at 100+ degrees outside, doesn heat soak or fuel boil any more. Worked for me.........
