Default Fixing one thing leads to another...

So reading all the literature about how the oil Temp should really be run above waters' boiling point so as to burn off condensation, and acids formed by it and combustion products sneaking by the rings, made lots of sense to me. So a canton Oil thermostat was installed and is working as it should; oil running about 220 rock solid.

Problem now is that the motor is HOT, which results in summer like fuel percolation and vapor lock problems. After shutting down the heat soak causes the accelerator pump blocks under the carb to get hot enough to start burping fuel through the nozzles, of course flooding the motor...carb spacers won't do anything for this, nor will float levels? The needles are in there, seems to be prevailing on the primary side.

Carb is a Holley 750xp on a super Vic manifold with a turkey pan cool carbs spacer hvh 1/2" out 1/2" in contour spacer: 427 ford racing 535 horse crate motor...

Ideas?

Thanks
