Carb spacers made from heat resistance plastic or wood are real effective at shielding the carb from the hot manifold. I installed a 1" carb spacer on my 351C to prevent vapor lock. I also wrapped my fuel line in metallic shielding to help keep it cooler.
Once you experience vapor lock in the middle of a busy intersection you'll do anything to keep your fuel cool!!
Oh yeah, and driving five miles home with a blown power valve is no picnic either!!!! After that little experience, I always carried a spare and my wrenches.
