me and my iia move to 29 palms ca. average temps here about 105. back in albuquerque i was having vapor lock problem on days when the temps hit the high 90s. new exhaust, carb heat shield added, steal fuel line routed behind instead of over and the problem went away. the truck has been running great out here even with the 105 degree days.
drove down to palm desert in the middle of the day, the truck she runs great. hang with my nephew and after a couple of beers i ask him if he want to go 4 wheeling. he drags my iia w/ his big dodge out to some desert canyons. 7pm and it's still 118. i did some serious pucker factor climbs and desents and now about 8pm we're crusin slow down a dry river bed and it vapor locks. now it's start drive 20 yards die, let sit, retart and another 20 yards. suns gone so i give him my shoes as he had sandles on, and my mini mag and send him on a 2 mile hike to his truck. after about 20 minutes i put the crank to it, cuz the battery's gone and get it going. get out of the river bed and limp back to the highway where i find his truck, turn arround and head out into the darken desert towards a bobbibg little light. it's the neph, he jumps end, we turn around make it about a 1/4 mile and PD lives up to her name. so we get out and start walking back to his truck. can't find it in the dark, walk in circles for more than an hour. find it and head off to look for PD. find her, hook her up and drag her back to palm desert.
next day i head out for 29 palms at the hottest part of the day. 120 degrees (why do people live here?) she dies about 3 time befor i get to highway 10. i throw the spare and the bonnet in the tub. head down the highway and she dies. i wrap a shop rage around the fuel filter just befor the carb, wet it down and cruise doing about 30 mph on the shoulder. turn east on 62 and head back to the stumps, stopping every 10 minutes to let it cool off and cuz she dies. i finally crawl on to the base after an 1 1/2 hour drive that took 6.
i've learn that even though i can't tell the difference between 105 and 120 Princess Died can
