I have had vapor lock on my camaro it sucks..
In a carb like a Carter, eldbrock there are air inlet ports and air mixer tubes that look like tiny machine gun heat shields down in side the carb housing that premix air and fuel between where the fuel is metered by the jet and introduced to the intake stream at the venturi.
If one of these air ports gets plugged up the engine will run crazy rich.
