I agree with Gary. Particularly in regions where the gasoline formula is poor, heat from the resting engine can cause gasoline in the float bowls of a Holley carb to boil. It can take a while for cooler fuel from the back of the car to reach the carb and bring the temp back down after the engine is restarted. . . . As an aside, a fellow on another forum with a different sports car installed a computer cooling fan under his hood to blow on the carb after he shuts down. It solved his problem but seems an unsightly solution.
