I do have a toggle switch to turn on the electric puller fan after turning off the car. Opening the hood also probably helps with venting the hot air from underneath the hood.
The phenolic spacer is also a good idea for reducing the conductive heat transfer from the intake manifold to the carb. I will need to see how thick of a spacer I can use being that the air cleaner cover sits very close to the cowl - maybe 1/4" gap there.
