Yea there is a cure for vapor loc. Vapor loc happens in the fuel line BEFORE the carb. There was a kit way back when i worked for Ford and also Chrysler . This kit was a fitting that went in the fuel line before the carb and had a small barb fitting that you place a small fuel line off it and it ran back to the pump on the suction side . This allowed fuel to move with out being held in the steel line and cook or boil when the needle was closed due to a full fuel bowl . The barb off the fitting had a small hole that allowed the fuel to flow with out causing a starvation problem when you were at W O T . One other thing that also maybe a problem is the power valve as more then likely it has a holley carb and even if it has a Motorcraft carb they too have a power valve and this could be leaking causing you to loose fuel in the float bowl. Many years back i had a 56 Ford that use to give me fits when it got warm out and we tryed all the old tales of close pins , insulation on the fuel line rerouting and nothing helped Till i did the bypass thing years before Ford or Chrysler came up with the bypass deal. That fixed the problem .
