I don't wish it on you but you may find stalling when stopping for lights when up to temps.
In my case, the solution was whistle vents and cool air-lots of it.

Hi Chas - thanks. Yeah, I know those Stellings don't flow much air. When I get around to it I'm going to try to measure my hood clearance and see if I can fit any K&N elements that are a little taller and flow slightly better. I think I should be able to - the carbs are actually pretty low compared to the expansion tank. That won't do anything for air temps. I would pretty much have to have a scooped hood to help that any. I'm hoping it will be pretty much like my 66 427 Corvette which has been OK in summer. I run it with the hood louver baffles in place.
