My '71 wagon has a B18b with HS6 SUs (the original B20 with the hif carbs is waiting a rebuild). I have been fighting vapor lock with this arrangement. I don't remember having this sort of problem before when I was driving my 122s or 63 1800 (the 1800 is actually where this engine came from).

But it's pretty classic I think. Starts right up when cold. When hot takes a while longer and if it's hot in the afternoon (as it will be in an hour or 2) might as well find a shady place to sit and a good book to read. After sitting for an hour it will start with 'coaxing'.
