This is a very frustrating issue and I have read other posts and threads.
67 Healey 3000 MK III BJ8
1. Engine was rebuilt and SU Carbs were rebuilt less than 2K miles on engine
2. Car ran very hot so installed electric fan to help cool. Also new radiator.
3. On hot days in traffic car will start to gasp ( vapor lockish) and occasionally misfire.
4. Took on long open road drive keeping at 3500 RPM. Ran well as i thought engine was staying cool.
5. Engine began to gasp/vapor lock and misfire after about 70 miles.
6. Once engine cooled off, I was able to drive again. But clearly unreliable.
I need some kind of order to troubleshoot this problem and ideas/tips as to what may be causing this?
Thanks
