Vapor lock in fuel line?

Vapor lock in fuel line. 57-FFPW standard set up on motor. I have installed a heat shield stock idem. That helped some. But I still had to use the electric fuel pump for back up on hot days of setting at traffic light. So I have insulated the fuel line from the fuel pump to the carburetor. I could not get to the line that runs under motor to the fuel pump. With out taking things apart. But the insulation made the vapor lock to happen at a much lower temperature. I like to run the truck off its manual fuel pump and use the electric for back up only. Ideas ????
thanks ED B.
