The fuel line from the gas tank to the fuel pump in my 1982 Dodge 024
is too close to the exhaust manifold and on hot days, after the engine
has been running for a while, the fuel boils out of the line when you
let the engine slow down to an idle.  You then have to wait about an
hour (the fuel lines are right on top of the manifold) to let the
pressure in the line drop enough for the fuel pump to overcome it.

That sounds like "Vapor Lock" to me.
