Another term for vapor lock, or the carburetor getting so hot that the gas in it boils off and causes the engine to stall from the lack of gas....not good The shields block the heat from the manifold getting to the carb.

Luckily I've never had this issue in mine. (Knock on wood.)
I do agree with Almond81's idea of opening the hood. I'm in the habit of opening the hood when I first shut it off. I do this all the time to avoid heat issues and also I think I'm saving the paint on my hood from too much heat underneath.1973 L-82 4 spd
