Well I took the hood off my car. That settled the underhood heat issue. 
It runs almost cold now. Engine heat is not an issue and the carbs are 
very cool. The fuel line is a little hot but should be OK. 

I let it idle a long time to give it a good test. Everything nice and 
cool. Then I took it for a drive. I went to NAPA. Then was headed down 
the street to Office Depot. It died on me as I was taking off from a 
stop light in a big intersection (132/L). Luckily I coasted across. It 
would not fire. It set about 2 minutes (felt like a loooong time) and 
then it did fire up. Then after I got it going again it started breaking 
up on me again. Popping and sputting. I know that ignition is OK now. 
The heat isn't a big deal either. I believe now that the carbs may be 
slopping too much gas in the manifold. I did see some laying in the 
plenum before. I'll go back in and rethink the set-up again. Firstly I'm 
going to reduce the accel pump nozzles back to where they were. I'll get 
this licked yet !!!!
