Fuel presssure drop

[brickyard69]

I have issolated the problem to the mechanical fuel pump getting to hot.

If I let it idle and get real hot the fuel pressure will drop to zero and the engine will die. If I wait till it gets low and pour some water on the pump the pressure will shoot right back to 6psi.

I have two pumps and they both do it.

I can either try one of those BG heat spacers between the pump and the block or go to an electric.

I have a new Holley Red pump so I may go that route.

Where do you mount it to get it below the tank on a 69 Camaro?
It seams almost impossible to do so.
