They come in a bunch of materials, from wood fiber composites to phenolic, but you don't want the aluminum model. Summit has a ton of them, based on the bore of the carb - http://www.summitracing.com/search/p...9%2B4294949621
    I have used a some of these and can tell you that a few minutes on a rouge wheel will polish the aluminum ones up very nicely.

    I agree with Tech and rspears. sounds like a form of vapor lock. It can also be caused by fuel lines getting hot;

    A vapor lock is more likely to develop when the vehicle is in traffic because the under-hood temperature tends to rise. A vapor lock can also develop when the engine is stopped while hot and the vehicle is parked for a short period. The fuel in the line near the engine does not move and can thus heat up sufficiently to form a vapor lock. The problem is more likely in hot weather or high altitude in either case.
