Eight or nine years ago I was having that problem on my 68 (427) - the shop ran new fuel lines and that solved the problem, if I recall the problem was the return line.

I had serious vapor lock problems till two weeks ago.
You can try insulating the lines & fuel pump but the most realiable cure I was advised is a cheap electric fuel pump back at the tank.
My problem is no more

hello. the car had been missing a little when you got on it (not real hard). we had been driving it for oh, about half an hour 45 mins and it started missing worse. i would stop and it would get REAL doggy on take off. i got to thinking this isn't good so i tried not to stop at all and get it home. as i was pulling into the parking lot it about died. i let it sit for abour 10-15 mins, started up took off and it did fine... what do you think? thanks for responding by the way!
