I see quite a few things that would help you but that's two bigger ones. Just to add, anything shiny and chrome in the fuel system attracts heat.

I agree on the fuel line return and the Edelbrock fuel pump. I tried to put one in without the return on my 84 truck and that was a painful experience with vapor lock. I reinstalled the return, by buying the bottom piece for the fuel pump that allows numerous outlet ports and installing the return line again. I also put the phenolic spacer on and ninety percent of the problems left.
