I installed an electric pump to help if I had vapor lock or problems in high altitude.
Never had to use it even in 100+ deg.

I changed to non ethanol on the first fillup after getting the car. Haven't tightened the fuel lines, assumed they were tight after a total restore, but will check them as I shouldn't assume anything. I did wrap the lines with insulation.
