I have built cars/trucks since 1979, not long to some people. Ferds, Chevy etc. I just have never had this issue. Is it a C10 specific thing?
I will say I always use thermal spacers under carbs and such. I have had trucks with 327's that I used for daily drivers in Las Vegas Nevada when I was a Navy recruiter (it dont get hot there). Never lost an hour work.
The other thing that's been on mind as of late is, this sugar they make fuel out of. Could this be a contributing issue? I see carbs torn apart and the bowls are full of do-do, just asking.
