All good recomendations and 1 other to consider is what kind of gas are you putting in it. Try to stay away from gas with methanol blend in it. Methanol is alcohol and boils at a much lower temperature then gas without it. I'm running a 496 all aluminum FE with Quick Fuel 850 and can not run a spacer. When I was at Texas Cobra meet this spring temps were low 90s and my car was fine until I put some gas in it up in Austin at a Shell station. Methanol blend and a bunch of us got it and had your concern until we put some high octane fuel in. I bought two 5 gallon jugs of 107 octane fuel and put 5 gallons in it and no more concern. Had the car out a few time since in 90 plus and again no issues....so check that fuel station you are filling up at.
