They don't do anything for vapor lock because vapor lock only occurs on the suction side of the pump, but they are still useful. For the most part, they limit the amount of gas that boils out of the carb bowls after you shut down the engine, thus helping to make it easier to start later. They may also help keep the fuel in the bowl cool while driving, but I doubt if that's very important because the evaporating gas coming thru the jets should keep the carb and manifold cold as long as the system is drawing in gas and air. Perhaps one of our carb people will know where to get these. I'd think they would be easy to find. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- Too much?
