more progress and another question 444-544

Hi all: I hope the photos show up, if they do you will be able to see that I have all the trim and bumpers installed now. Also the new interior that is partially done (still needs another door panel, windlace and a headliner).
I have been driving the car and it is doing pretty well with a few minor things still to be done (rear bushings and the rubber blocks on the rear axle "U" bolt.
My question has to do with what I think(?)is a carb. problem... If I allow the car to idle for a while on a hot day it begins to stumble and miss, If you get in the car and drive it,this goes away pretty quickly, but if you then stop and let the car idle, it comes back!
I think the rear carb. on the B16b is getting too hot and I am getting a sort of 'vapor lock' condition. The float bowl on the rear carb sets very close to the exhaust manifold and with no breeze when stopped and idling maybe the heat rising from the manifold is overheating the rear bowl?
If anyone has experienced this or has a remedy I would be interested in hearing about it!

TIA & Cheers
OK
PS The problem may be something else entirely, any thoughts/ideas appreciated!
