Steve,
After you fit the cowl especially the lower. Drop your tunnel from where the
book
says till the lower radiator almost touches the bottom of the cowl. This will
open the gap between the and the tunnel ceiling and allow gobs of hot air out
the back. Once I did that it solved all my cooling issues and I never had fuel
boiling on the hottest of days.
