This is where the fuel sits and has a tendency to boil in hotter weather. Vapor lock/fuel boiling seems to affect these older carbureted vehicles more so than the newer injected vehicles and can be difficult to eliminate. I would do everything I could to insulate the fuel lines from any heat sources.
