Okay, not enough info. from prior post.  Does anyone have a 68 or 69 with an electric fuel pump.

What pump would depend on the type of engine/carb set-up you have. It's best to mount electric pumps as close tot he tank as possible...most of them are designed to push fuel, not pull. When I got my '74, there was an electric pump mounted to the rear bumper bracket, and wired directly into the hot side of the electric window circuit breaker!   It was one of the first thigns I got rid of, too.

So you did not like the Elect. fuel pump?

I put header wrap on my fuel lines this weekend and it worked for me so far..not sure ..maybe re routing the fuel lines away from the engine..starting at the pass side wheel where the fuel line comes in.. Maybe go up the fire wall then up to the carb..and wrap the heck out of the lines..with an electric pump of course..you can hook the pump up at the rear at the rubber tank lines...maybe find a speed shop down there in heat land that has ideas on what else you can do..we had a heat stroke here this summer so I think I did pretty good..I would put the relay away from heat also..I will look for a pump that might work for you..

Thanks, I have some heavy duty insulation on about everything including my spark plug wires.

All the other problems you describe make me wonder if your engine is generating an abnormal amount of heat.  You shouldn't have had such a serious starter problem, for example.  I think you should thoroughly evaluate your cooling system, but especially have your tune checked, both air/fuel ratio, and timing.

Radiator was vated several years ago.. Water pump is replaced, Vette runs with water gauge showing 200 to 210. But it is about 190 when I ran a temp check from the engine. This was after 20 miles or so driving. No overheating problems.

        The small block should not run that hot...200-210 is high for an early C3...CVheck all the seals around the shroud (you are running a shroud, aren't you?) and fan clutch.

I have replaced all the seals around the radiator and shroud. I have a fan extension instead of the fan clutch.  I was told this is as good as the fan clutch and will keep the radiator cooler. I have been looking for the article on the fan extension, but I haven't been able to find it.

I found that the extension or adapter makes the fan spin continously for more cooling and bolts up in the same positon and replaces the fan clutch. So what is the problem with that. Fan Extension vrs clutch.
