No news is good news

I haven't posted in a while because nothing is broken, needs to be adjusted, removed, replaced or otherwise corrected.  At least nothing is bad enough that I have been motivated to do something about it.   the vette has developed a slight miss and the brakes are squealing.   The 67 exhaust is starting to develop a leak - I could hear it gettting a bit worse each time I drive it.  the 40 seems to be holding its own at this point.  I'll get back in the swing when the weather cools off a bit...or when something breaks needing more immediate attention. 

Vapor lock

I don't usually drive the '40 on really hot days so vapor lock isn't much of a problem for me.  But today I guess it was high 80's at least, with humidity, and it wouldn't start after running for a while.  The carb bowl was empty as was the pump.  Fortunately I have a siphon on the fuel line just before the fuel pump so I was able to get fuel in the pump and carb to get it started.  But it wasn't happy.  As I was driving home it started stumbling and coughing.  Got it home and had a heavy fuel smell from the gas that I guess was boiling out of the carb. 
I don't think a repair is needed except to clean up the carb and make sure i don't thave any more permanent leaks.  But it'll wait until the sun goes down for that. 
I also note that it was comforting to know I have a fire extinguisher in all my cars.  Glad I didn't need it but glad I had it just in case.
