very true The reflective stuff works great on wire harnesses. But I remember most of the vapor lock issues back in the 80's were caused by a faulty fuel pump. Reduced fuel pressure plus slow fuel flow equals no cooling leads to vapor lock. Plus I'd take a 195 degree engine block over 800 degree headers any day.



back on track, Did you find a spacer? All I have are 1" ers.
